The octagonal prism can also be seen as a tiling on a sphere:Use
In optics, octagonal prisms are used to generate flicker-free images in movie projectors.In uniform honeycombs and 4-polytopes
It is an element of three uniform honeycombs:| Truncated square prismatic honeycomb | Omnitruncated cubic honeycomb | Runcitruncated cubic honeycomb |
It is also an element of two four-dimensional uniform 4-polytopes:
| Runcitruncated tesseract | Omnitruncated tesseract |
