re:  lazy susan mirror - roller coaster
We got home gizmo geeks here huh!

IPIX and others "flat warp" the edges of their single frame images to
re-establish the foward flat perspective view.everyone is naturally use to,
because of the OEM gear in our heads.

If you look at my ftp images [3rd thread] you can make out that some of the
walls bend away like warped space.
There is a spherical abberation, depending on the latitude and longitude,
hence the need for parabolic remapping of the image unto the camera
"retina". A facinating read for those tired of the latest TV lineup.
