I am pretty certain that the one in SF did not correct for this.  Or if 
it did, it was somewhat inconsequential because the lens rotates 360 
degrees *and* projects from the ceiling onto a table--the viewer simply 
walks around to get the *right* prespective at any point during the 
shot.  I do know that the image was *not* reversed.
