that's an interesting question, and warrants a long and thoughtful answer - which i won't give here.
most vintage 3D cameras have capture angles of about 45 degrees, replicating what the brain can process at any one time. so that while we have peripheral vision that, without moving our heads, takes in about 180 degrees, what we 'see' is about 45 degrees. the flaw in that thinking is that we neither are fixed in space nor is our gaze fixed straight ahead. we can move our eyes, our heads, or our entire bodies.
so the whole question of whether or not a camera can replicate human vision is a complex one.
but the issue becomes even more complex when you talk about wright's architecture, particularly the morris gift shop. you really can't see or experience the entire space from any one point. those b/w pix on lauf's site show that, even though they are taken with a wide-angle lens.
i think even a single 360 degree ipix photo wouldn't capture the space accurately because who would remain in a fixed location inside this building?
wonder if it could be photographed without a
wide-angle lens, capturing the entire volume)
