Re: Virtual Birds-Eye View?

A coworker has a BMW with this feature. I guess it has ultra-wide-angle cameras mounted in strategic locations and the processor stitches the imagery together to form a 360-degree view of what's around the car. The image gets very distorted as you "look up" from the immediate area surrounding the car, but that's the important zone anyway.

I think this could be a cool project for sure! I'd sure love to build a version of this for my car...
