Navigators and projection are pretty independent, so that shouldn't be a
problem.
But the fact that your screen is not planar is a problem that can'tbe
solved with a simple Viewport. The one thing you definitely have to do
is to split up the single Viewport into multiple ones. For testing you
can just give all of them the same data (root, camera, background,
foregrounds). Then you need to add a CameraDecorator to each of them to
manipulate the viewing parameters. As long as they all use the same
Camera the Navigators should work just fine.
The two Decorators that would work are the ProjectionCD and the
MatrixCD. The ProjectionCD is probably overkill, unless you want to run
head-tracking, but the MatrixCD should work ok as long as your
projectors are just rotated. Setting the postViewing matrix in the
decorator to the right rotation should fix it.
Hope it helps
