The 3π2\frac{3\pi}{2}-open spanning path conjecture

From papers

Let SS be a finite point set in general position in the plane. A spanning path of SS is a plane straight-line path containing every point of SS. Such a path is α\alpha-open when all angles relevant to its openness are at most α\alpha.

3π2\frac{3\pi}{2}-open spanning path conjecture. Every finite point set in general position in the plane has a 3π2\frac{3\pi}{2}-open spanning path.

This is the paper's concluding formulation of the conjectured bound for spanning paths in general position. The paper establishes a non-tight bound of 5π4\frac{5\pi}{4} and leaves the stated existence claim unresolved.
