The original panopticon was a circular prison conceived by British philosopher [[Jeremy Bentham]] in 1787, designed so that central guards could view inmates at all time.
The name "panopticon" was also given to an invention that enabled views to see multiple images, such as scenic pictures, through a single opening.
Panoptic today means providing a panoramic view.
