I was going to point out that the article misspells the "Pannini" projection, named after the italian painter and perspective professor after whom it is named, not to be confused with the grilled sandwich, but apparently both spellings are valid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Paolo_Panini

Yeah, I'm just happy people are learning about this awesome thing named after him, however spelled.

The article finishes with the Pan(n)ini projection, which was discussed yesterday:

I hope that there will be games using pannini projection. Such game does not need too fancy graphics. I really would like to play a game with overwhelming sense of scale.

If nobody will do it, I will. It just will have to wait in my todo list...

Fantastic visualizations! What tools did you use?

Thanks! it was years ago I made these. The interactive ones are made in just straight Raphael.js (in js/1dscreen.coffee). The cube animations are just plain canvas (in js/iso3d.js)

Source code is using Raphael.js. I know this because I look at code.
