Earth's surface on a sphere
Posted: Fri Jun 28, 2024 4:20 pm
Hello everyone,
I want to create an interactive digital globe.
For this I have two projectors and a 50cm styrofoam ball at my disposal.
At the end you should be able to rotate the globe with a Playstation controller.
So far so good, with one projector it's no problem at all. I created a 3D sphere and loaded it as an obj into MadMapper and placed the texture over it and adjusted the controller settings.
But how do I do this with two beamers so that as much of the earth's surface as possible can be displayed?
How do I have to align the two projectors so that there is a seamless transition of the earth's surface? Is this even possible with the distortion on a sphere?
Thank you!
best regards
