the math isn't too bad. just like the reverse of a gazing ball that
people have in their gardens.

the 'complication' is in dealing w/ high resolution and multiple viewers
each w/ their own point of view. i'm not sure if any/all cameras give
suitable access to the uncompressed bits since transcoding would be
slightly more painful.
