Re: 360 deg. slide-projector ?!

[ADavidhazy <ANDPPH@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Once a student and I did some projections into a translucent glass sphere using
a fisheye lens adapter on a motion picture projector that, if I recall
correctly, was quite interesting.

Scanning projectors may not be the best solution to projection. Better, I
think, to convert to a spherical doughnut shaped image and then project with a
cone or other auxiliary device to an instantaneous 360 degree projection. This
enables easy image changes as well. I would suspect you'd want to make the
"dupes" on something larger than 35mm stock ... maybe 2 1/4 or 4x4?
