This is a serious issue. There is the other one of an omnivision system with
a black 180° shutter rotating around the mirror at 25 Hz, so the robot can
take 25 images to its front and 25 to its back.
Actually, I find the +/-90° opening angle in any direction a little bit
much, because humans cannot see their feet when looking straight ahead, and
they don't see sharp in most of the area they perceive.
