Abstract
In a method and the arrangement for determining projection data for a projection of a
Patent 1: Distribution of Scene
spatially variable area, change data are determined in a first computing unit, where the
change data describe a change in the spatially variable area from a starting state to an Graph Among Multiple Rendering
end state. The change data are transmitted to a second computing unit and to a third
computing unit, which are each connected to the first computing unit. First current
projection data for a first projection of the spatially variable area are determined in the

second computing unit using the change data and first previously stored projection data.
Second current projection data for a second projection of the spatially variable area are
determined in the third computing unit using the change data and second previously
stored projection data.
