I'm trying to recreate an old "Cyclorama" type exhibition to display old panoramas captured on multiple glass plates.
The hardware uses multiple projectors to show the images against the screen walls of a round 360° circular enclosure, with the viewer standing in the middle.
The problem with P2VR and any other Virtual Tour software like PTP, is that the projection looks "normal" in the centre of the screen, but "stretches" at the edges. I see this even with my 47" curved monitor.
This is a scene crop from the centre of the pano, 580x237px

As an attempt is made to show the scene on wider and wider screens, this "stretching" becomes horrid.
The projection software will work with a cylindrical image, but projecting a single cylindrical image loses the interactive functionality of popup hotspots and other tour features, while preserving the correct viewing angles around the circle.
Any ideas about how to build a fully functional interactive P2VR tour with a 360° HFOV?
Regards, Barney
