Analyst Comment
I was sure that I had read in our newsletter that there is a view in content creation circles that in reality, few people look much beyond 180º in video after an initial check that the view behind exists, so there is little point in capturing 360º when 180º simplifies things considerably. However, I was unable to find it despite an extended search! If any readers remember who said it, please let me know. (BR)
