Most pano viewers suffer from the same strange behaveour:
-measure an object at the center of the view window
-now shift your viewpoint till the object is near the edge of the view window
-measure the same object
-it's been stretched to 2x or even 3x its size in the center of the view window.
Now rotate your head, one eye closed, keep looking straight forward but pay attention to an object that shifts through your field of view. The size remains the same, doesn't it?
PMVR tries to reach this effect by showing pano's as endless linear film strips, pulled left and right behind the view window. This does eliminate the sea-sickness effect of other pano viewers but does have another ugly effect: actual straight lines appear bent.
