You're describing volumetric video, but from a single frame rather than multiple capture.
We were pitching this as the future of video about 4 years ago when raising funding for https://ayvri.com - suggesting that we have the data of where somebody was, and what the world was like around them. With a photo or video of the person, we could re-create a complete scene and you'd have a capture of essentially every angle.
Everyone said I was crazy, but what we're seeing with this sort of research, along with 3D scene recreation from a single photo and generative environments, it's definitely going to happen. I was saying it would take 5 years, 4 years ago. I'd say it is still 4-5 years from being a commercial technology.
And no, we don't actively work on Ayvri anymore. The team has moved on (started something new), we were too early. It's a good lesson.
I don't see anything even vaguely resembling satire in it.

If you really hage doing it, it's easy enough to avoid.

There is nothing random (seems rather intentional), unorofessional, of confusing about the naming scheme. It has a simple descriptive name, and shorter acronym derived from the name. The acronym is an initialism, one of the more common kinds, but isn't an initialism using every word of the full name, instead leaving out the second word of a two-word noun phrase leaving the phrase represented by the first letter of the first word. Not all that unusual.
