The ""panorama"" was a 360-degree visual medium patented under the title ""Apparatus for Exhibiting Pictures"" by the artist Robert Barker in 1787.

"Panorama (art) Panoramic paintings during the Romantic Era captured all 360 degrees of a scene. Typically shown in rotundas for viewing, panoramas were meant to be so lifelike they confused the spectator between what was real and what was image. Robert Barker conceived the concept of the panorama in 1787. While walking on Calton Hill overlooking Edinburgh, the idea struck him and he obtained a patent for it the same year. Barker's patent included the first coining of the word ""panorama"", a portmanteau of the Greek words ‘""pano""’ (all) and ‘""horama""’ (view). Barker’s vision was to capture the magnificence of"
