Re: 360 Degree Video... What do you guys think?

I'd doubt that with the current FMS limitations of 7mbps max bandwidth that it could be used for driver viewing, but in the future if the technology allows, it could be really cool to drive with a VR headset. There's the possibility of only sending back the part of the video feed that the driver headset is aimed at and using on-robot software to move and crop the image to only what the driver needs to see, to save bandwidth.

TL;dr- it's a great idea in concept but would take lots of software to make it work well for driver vision.
