Whoah, this is awesome. I was arguing with a friend earlier saying that the crazy stretching in the screen corners with standard rectilinear projections were awful. His argument was that the rectilinear projection preserves straight lines. I think the comparison was a fisheye projection, which at an extreme is also not great. It looks like the Pannini projection here also preserves (some) straight lines though. I feel vindicated. What I always wondered though, is what projection do human eyes really receive data from? Most illustrations show rectilinear projections, but I assume our eyes are closer to fish eyes than cameras, or at least are somewhere in the middle.
