Spout (inter-app texture sharing) integration

Dev/Tech

Hi guys (and girls) !

I think it could be a good feature to add a Spout/Syphon functionality into the WWT for planetarium. With this option, WWT could, for example, generate a 4k x 4k sky image and share it to the mapping application of a high resolution dome, and keep a lower resolution for the monitor screen. NDI is also an option, but less efficient than Spout.

I know a bit about Spout, but not Syphon, but I didn’t dig into the WWT code yet. Does someone is interested to this task or could give me some hint about the WWT code ? I know want to make changes directly and indirectly make bugs somewhere else…

Thanks

I can see that this is an old post, but I would like to second this suggestion. I use Shira Presenter to show material on a planetarium dome using Spout. This setup allows a control monitor and two high definition projectors to be run from a single pc. The dome resolution is about 3840x3840
