How can we make it? We went to a D.I.Y. shop just one day before the Hack-a-son day and collected useful staffs for our cosmos!

Projector

Fish-Eye Lens

Spherical display covered by tracing paper

We cut a tracing paper

We put paper on two plastic hemispheres and merge them.

We tested with a projection light, and it was going well!!

We used two fish-eye lenses for smart phone.

Two stacked with clips were set on a tripod.

The moment when we tried to stand the sphere in a right way...

We wrote programs for transforming the equidistant cylindrical map to the spherical projection map.

Our tool can transform images only by Drag & Drop.

Transformed data was well suited for our display!
