I remembered seeing the original pic, but hadn't followed the comments.

Hm. Now I wonder whether palantiri have some method of self-orientation so it knows which direction it's being viewed from, or whether their magic means that if N equally-spaced viewers are ranged around it, all N of them will see it from the intended angle? There're probably other factors such as whether the intent is driven by the (main) viewer of that particular palantir or whoever's hanging onto the palantir at the other end of the transmission. Also, something about Trek viewscreens vaguely comes to mind, but not in a way that really makes sense.
