[vtkusers] lens distortion simulation

[Francois Bertel]

The only way I can think of to distort the image in VTK is to to set
the ViewAngle of the camera (expressed in degrees) to a large value
like 100 (the initial value is 30)
and make the distance from the camera to the object to be distorted
really small.

It is not lens distortion though, it is just perspective distortion.
And it is not real fish-eye lens projection either because the
projection happens on a plane not on a spherical shape.
