One of the presenters on the BBC's World Service's technology programme
"Click" just came out with words to the effect 'It's not 360 degrees, it's
four pi steradians' during a discussionof a (not) 360 degree video of the
construction of London's Crossrail.

Daring departure from dumbing down ... ?

Could I generously offer a new (candidate) SI unt

1 Chapman = 4 pi steradians

less whimsically,

1 Gerzon = 4 pi steraidians

the marketing people might be able to cope with that ... or maybe not ...

This could get interesting :

If one works with an eighth of a sphere ( a 3D ?quadrant) then that would
be "180 VR" (90 azimuth plus 90 zenith).
Stick eight of these together then 8 x "180 VR" = "720 VR".
I'm patenting this ... and hoping to sell the new arithmetic to some third
world governents (and all first world ones).

BTW isn't it 360 azimuth and 180 elevation and thus 540,not 720

Hi,

I presume that the name "720 VR" is for 360 degrees azimuth plus 360  
degrees zenith.


Ciao,

Love the name. Should be twice as good as 360. Then again, 1440  
would be

even better. Anyone?

But let's ease off on those guys, they are among the few who actually
post specs and a concept that might even work, because people have  
been

testing it since the 70s :-D Neat packaging.
