I was wondering how to go about making a 360 degree image. I was
thinking about something like the game Zork Nemesis where you could look
all round your position (and I hear Myst III has that too). I tried
increasing the angle of the picture but it ended up distorted.
The idea I have is that it is made of a concatenation of a sequence of
pictures.
Anyone with more experience with POV cameras able to enlighten me?
Thanks!

There is something similar here that is worth looking at -

This is done by using the spherical camera (look that up in the docs) and
then mapping the image spherically to a sphere or cube around the camera in
some sort of 3D polygon engine. At least that's how Myst III did it.
(*awesome* game.)
