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:
It is also an element of two four-dimensional uniform 4-polytopes:
