Dang! And I was holding out for a tetrahedral model for my triangular CCD
camera...
Very cool news.
Is there an obvious mapping from PSphere to cube in a single image (my brain
gave up on this one)? Or will we have to deal with sets of six "tile"
images?
Is the controller going to be built as a wired thing like IPIX' QT
components, so we can script it and have multiple instances?
