This is like a Planetarium or star chart projected on a dome. In the
past, large ones were done with complicated projectors. A small one is
just a pattern printed on a translucent hemisphere with a light bulb
inside. I wonder if they do these with software digitally now?
A really low tech solution would be to print the six faces on a small
cube lamp with 12" edges. Hang in center of cubic room, say 12 x 12 x
12 feet. If it is portable, the display becomes a weird light show.
Siggraph exhibitors often showcase innovative interfaces. Might be
worth a search of the catalogs. When you say "a projector", that might
be very expensive. Could you do it with a cluster of six projectors,
synced in the software controller?

that's it exactly
the shape would be very flexible
it could be projected in a corridor or a room or on a shape.
If this is possible it would be best in dir because its just more fun.
My understanding was that dir & qt will not be happy
to outPut 5 camera views at the same time.

So each of the 5 faces could be output to a projector .
to be projected inside a room.
and controled from 1 device ?
Yes, possible. But, the room might need to be designed with this
application in mind.
