I’ve been toying recently with various representations of a spherical panorama. The stereographic (or little planet) projection has become my favorite for various reasons:
* I think it’s the most interesting way to represent a spherical panorama (much less boring than the usual equirect I used in this blog post)
* It’s also more practical because the image’s width to height ratio is usualy 1:1 so it displays nicely almost everywhere
* It’s definitely more creative because you can tweak each image quite a lot (you can rotate the “viewpoint”, alter horizontal compression, move the center, etc.)
Take a look at some examples:
Tram Public Transport in Prague, Czech Republic
Wind Harvester Farm
Mexico City
