They work by using ovular elements (although they usually contain spherical elements as well) to distort incoming light and squeeze the projection, via a single axis, onto the sensor or film. As such, ...

"Each country is projected to the spherical projection and placed at the center of where it appears in the Natural Earth projection," Kaye wrote in a Reddit post in reference to his creation.

Translating an image from a 2D video into a hemispherical or spherical projection map that's viewable from the user at the center isn't easy, but it is something that has practically been solved ...

This can take the RGB output of an OpenGL shader, of which he has created both 2D to 3D and spherical projection versions. The must-see demo is a global map of light pollution, and the result is a ...

Because the Earth is roughly spherical, every flat map distorts our planet one way or another. The most popular version is the Mercator projection, created by Flemish cartographer Gerardus ...

Here, instead of deploying massive storage and computing power, we exploit the spherical geometry of zebrafish embryos by computing a radial maximum intensity projection in real time with a 240 ...
