Terminology-wise, what’s the better way to communicate that something captures a truly omnidirectional spherical view, not just 360° in a circle? Seems this article has gone for ‘360° panoramic’ but to me that implies blind spots above and below, but the camera placements on this device seem to have full spherical coverage. Shouldn’t they call it a 41,253 square degree camera?
- NightlyDev 2y agoYou just said it: Omnidirectional, meaning in every direction :)
- bounceimaging 2y agoYep, omnidirectional. But most people don't get that so we say 360
- z2h-a6n 2y agoIf you want to be specific, specify the solid angle [0] captured, in your prefered units, e.g 4π steradians = 41253 square degrees = 1 spat. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle
