The "planispheric optic array" is a full-horizon Mercator projection of the optic array. Such pictures of the environment are coming in common use with the availability of cheap full-view cameras of reasonable quality. This introduces the question of whether the public will actually profit from such pictorial information in terms of an understanding of the spatial layout of the depicted scene. Test images include four persons located at the corners of a square centered at the camera. The persons point at each other in various combinations. Participants in the experiment judge who is pointing at whom in a number of such photographs. It is found that certain very systematic and huge errors are the rule, indicating that naïve viewers are quite unable to parse such planispheric representations.
“平面视野光学阵列”是光学阵列的全视野墨卡托投影。随着质量合理的廉价全景相机的出现，这种环境图片正变得越来越普遍。这就引出了一个问题：公众是否真的能从这种图像信息中理解所描绘场景的空间布局并从中受益。测试图像包括位于以相机为中心的正方形四个角上的四个人。这些人以各种组合方式相互指向。实验参与者要判断在许多这样的照片中谁指向谁。结果发现，某些非常系统且巨大的错误是常态，这表明普通观看者完全无法解析这种平面视野表示。
