Setup the same approach as here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zMrtydacsQ in simulation.
Try to run code https://github.com/artivis/omnidirectional_rig and check how hard it is adapt it to Google Cardboard VR and Web

@AndriyPt @SystemDiagnosticss , please check the PR #122 to verify if a spherical camera is appropriate.

@LyubomyrD looks good to me 👍

Tutorial on working with OpenCV from ROS:

Posting it here for later use.

FWIW, a sample command to visualise the image stream:

rosrun image_view image_view image:=/right_fisheye_camera/image_raw

Adding a parameter _image_transport:=theora will switch the viewer to compressed image stream.
