Hi Dave, Yes there are 360 degrees in a flat plane of space but there are 720 degrees in a three dimensional space. So you could be moving at 45 degrees on a flat plane in your x and y access and also 180 degrees in the z access. So I think Tom should re-write his Star Trek game with this added dimension added. And to play the game you would need a 6 speaker setup with one on the floor and one over your head to here the above and below sounds. Smiles, Just kidding! Phil
