Panoptic

Copyright © 2011-2014 Robert Kooima

Panoptic is a giga-pixel omni-stereoscopic panorama viewer and a planetary data exploration tool. It embeds the Spherical Cube Map library within a Thumb application, giving an SCM renderer with broad support for virtual reality devices and head-mounted displays.

Dependencies

The Panoptic build requires the presence of Spherical Cube Map and Thumb in adjacent directories.

$ ls
panoptic
scm
thumb

Build

Panoptic may be build with either a Debug or Release configuration. The adjacent Thumb and SCM source trees must be build with the same configuration. In all cases, debug builds are placed in Debug while release builds are placed in Release, so these configurations may cleanly coexist.

Linux and OS X

To build Release/panoptic under Linux or OS X:

make

To build Debug/panoptic:

make DEBUG=1

Windows

To build Release\panoptic.exe under Windows, use the Visual Studio project or the included Makefile.vc:

nmake /f Makefile.vc

To build Debug\panoptic.exe:

nmake /f Makefile.vc DEBUG=1
