a camera that can capture a 360-degree view of its surroundings in a single shot

An omnidirectional camera is a type of camera designed to capture a 360-degree view of its surroundings. It uses multiple lenses or a single wide-angle lens to record images in all directions simultaneously. This allows it to create panoramic or all-around images and videos, making it useful for applications such as virtual reality, surveillance, and comprehensive scene capture.
