Fisheye and Ultrawideangle

E s s a y s

Different mapping-types of fisheyes, larger field-angle as usually. Mouseclick: passage to a virtual World (VRML-plugin required)   VRML-browsers and -plug-ins to view virtual wolds in these site (I use the Cortona plug-in.) Additionally, Java-Script should be activated (makes it possible to switch the focal length in the virtual worlds by "View"-menu). Java plug-in is required on some of these sites (for a 64-bit computer additionally install the 64-bit plug-in).
