One aspect that we might be able to leverage is that the Camera's that are doing the distortion correction just contain standard OSG scene graph that is built in a way that it contains a simple screen aligned texture geometry. Adjusting the distortion correction just comes down to adjusting the geometry. A "distortion manager" could just hang off this distortion geometry subgraphs, or perhaps even be a custom node that manages the subgraph for us. One aspect you'd need to take into account is some distortion correction techniques will take a single Texture2D as input while others might require a Texture2DArray or a TextureCube (as in the case of the panoramic subgraphs.) Another little aspect to osgViewer and the .view ascii configuration file format has been that my plan has been to serialize all viewer cameras to a .view file, including any custom scene graphs they might have. This viewer configuration could then be reloaded to configure the viewer. Any "distortion manager" class we come up with would need to capable of supporting serialization out to the .view configuration file. It's worth noting that the .view plugin just uses the standard .osg ascii parsing code to do it's work, so embedded standard nodes within it should be straight forward.
