A tech startup is designing a new virtual reality (VR) headset with a unique feature: a 360-degree camera system that can be rotated and tilted. The camera system consists of four identical cameras positioned at the corners of a square. Each camera can capture a 90-degree field of view. The startup wants to determine the optimal configuration for the cameras to capture a spherical room without any blind spots. The room has a diameter of 10 meters, and the cameras are positioned 2 meters away from the center of the room. Which configuration will allow the cameras to capture the entire room without any overlap?

Solution

All cameras facing outwards, angled 45 degrees towards the center of the square — The correct configuration is with all cameras facing outwards, angled 45 degrees towards the center of the square. This is because each camera can capture a 90-degree field of view, and by angling them 45 degrees towards the center, they can cover the entire 360-degree sphere without any blind spots or overlap. The distance of 2 meters from the center and the room's diameter of 10 meters ensure that the cameras' fields of view can cover the entire room. The other configurations either leave blind spots or result in overlap, making them suboptimal for capturing the entire room.
