360 degree news gathering should be valuable.  Right now, there&#x27;s too much judgment involved in where the camera is pointed.  If you capture a full circle or hemisphere or sphere, you get everything. This works really well for drones and surveillance cameras.  Cameras have so much resolution now that you can afford to take all that angle and extract a view later.<p>Except for very short range images, just skip the 3D. Beyond a few meters, nobody can tell, anyway.  Besides, this isn&#x27;t &quot;virtual reality&quot;. It&#x27;s just panoramic imagery.
