Abstract :
Researchers have built a spherical optical system that can record images from all directions around its location, giving viewers a 360-degree view of the surrounding area. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology´s Research Laboratory of Electronics, along with MIT´s Department of Materials Science and Engineering and Department of Electrical Engineering, developed the new technology, known as fiber webs or optoelectronic fiber arrays.
