OmniMap API
Real-Time Geometry Correction Library

OmniMap 2.0.2 (released Feb 4th, 2008)
Now Available for Download!

This is a official Release of OmniMap 2.0. The OmniMap, OmniMapD3D, and OmniMapD3D10 Geometry Correction Libraries provide developers with an easy-to-integrate solution to make real-time OpenGL, DirectX9, and DirectX10 applications compatible with OmniFocus projection systems.

Typical video projection systems display rectangular images on flat screens. However for planetariums, domes, panoramas, and other non-planar display surfaces optical and geometric correction techniques must be employed to prevent video projected on the curved display from appearing distorted. OmniMap, OmniMapD3D, and OmniMapD3D10 are API's for use with OmniFocus projection systems or other custom immersive projection environments that maps real-time content onto arbitrary projection surface shapes.

Geometry correction routines are encapsulated in an easy-to-integrate C++ library. The pre-rendering API calls render the virtual environment into off screen temporary buffers, while the OmniMap, OmniMapD3D, and OmniMapD3D10 API's post-rendering calls account for lens optical distortion and screen geometry correction. All configuration and algorithm options are handled by configuration files and scripts, so configuration changes can be made without recompiling the program. OpenGL 2.0, Shader Model 3.0, and Shader Model 4.0 shaders are leveraged to take full advantage of new functionality provided by emerging graphics hardware. The cross-platform system is hardware accelerated using all of these shader models to take full advantage of new functionality provided by emerging graphics hardware.
