Scratch that,
using the _mesh projection_ would be a giant pain my sphere {}s.

HOWEVER,
using the user-defined function camera
("User defined projection")
would probably allow one to map out the portions of the screen as an
image/diagram
and then use eval_pigment in a function to control the location and direction of
the camera at each pixel.

I think I can just use something like a cubic pattern and different colored
faces to get everything working.
Then it would just be a plug-n-play kind of setup, if I wrote the scene code for
a fairly general case.
