A virtual-reality system that provides a 360掳 view without the need to
wear a VR headset is being patented by the University of Washington (WO
00/49804). Users sit inside a doughnut-shaped plastic mirror the size of a truck

circular lens onto the mirror, creating a continuous 360掳 image that appears
to hang in space. The downside is that viewers can鈥檛 move from the centre of the
mirror.
