Kartaverse provides a post-production pipeline optimized for the immersive media sector. If you can imagine it, Kartaverse can help you create it in XR! "Karta" is the Swedish word for map. With KartaVR you can stitch, composite, retouch, and remap any kind of panoramic video: from any projection to any projection. This provides the essential tools for 360VR, panoramic video stitching, depthmap, lightfield, and fulldome image editing workflows. @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ Kartaverse makes it a breeze to accessibly and affordably create content for use # Installation -Kartaverse is a free open-source (GNU LGPL/GPL v3) toolset.
