Hi Peter Very interesting images. As viewed, they seem to combine aspects of the rectilinear and (generalized) stereographic projections -- which I guess is what they actually are.
I can get partial views something like these out of Panini, but only in one direction at a time, as there the viewpoint (your new center) does not stay put in the panosphere but rotates along with the direction of view. And it can only be placed "back of center"; so you can never see the "near" side of the panosphere. I don't think it would be hard to give Panini a mode that rotates the sphere around a fixed viewpoint that you can put anywhere inside it; that should generate spherical views just like your recentered equirectangulars. Do you think this is a new route to nice prints?
