The author proves that two convex polytopes, both contained in the interior of a Euclidean ball in dimension \(d\geq 3\), are equal, provided that their sight cones, from any point on the \(d-1\) dimensional sphere corresponding to the above ball, are congruent. An analogous result holds for spherical projections.
