Panopticon (n) Translated as "All-seeing", Panopticon is a photographic term, first coined by UK based artist, Ruski. It is used to describe a particular style of 360° panoramic images, rendered in a stereographic projection, such that the entire scene surrounds a central vantage point. The unique [perspective] generated is instantly recognisable, though can sometimes be mistaken for fish-eye images. Photographs from outside, appear [like a little] planet, wheras indoor scenes can be transformed with ceiling structures encircling the scene. The term was [inspired by] the original use in prison design, where the cells, and the prisoners within, all surround and are visible from a single central spot.
