Function:

Igloo Capture is an application that allows users to display a multitude of different content types on their Igloo, outside of the images and videos Igloo Warper is capable of directly ingesting. Igloo Capture allows for flexible generation of Capture Inputs with features like capturing regions of interest, alpha channel support and the ability to composite multiple capture sources into a single Capture Input.

Input/Output Translation:

Igloo Capture can perform translations on a variety of different well-known VR content types. This can be done on an individual capture input as input translation, or as output translation on a composition of inputs. This allows users to translate common VR formats such as circular fisheye to fit a panoramic scene (See image below), or to create cubemaps from multiple inputs and perform a cubemap to equirectangular translation on the output to convert the entire composition to equirectangular.
