fisheye camera
Hemisphere-capturing imaging device
A fisheye camera uses an ultra-wide-angle lens that captures an extremely broad field of view—often 180 degrees or more—resulting in images with pronounced spherical distortion.
Straight lines curve dramatically toward the edges, creating a distinctive bulging effect.
The name comes from how a fish might see the world looking up through water.
Fisheye cameras are used in surveillance, skateboarding videos, real estate photography, and artistic work where the warped perspective is desirable: The fisheye camera made the tiny room look enormous.
