ILLUMINATION SYSTEM FOR MOBILE DEVICES

摘要

The present invention provides an apparatus for reversible stable association with a portable computing and communications device (PCCD) and illuminate the proximity resulting in illumination of an object in the proximity. The present invention provides a compact portable system to facilitate enhanced imaging of an individual employing a portable computing and communications device (PCCD) to participate in a videoconference. The present invention provides an apparatus that retains the PCCD device and provides controlled and customizable illumination of the videoconference participant which results in enhanced imaging of the videoconference participant. The apparatus of the present invention is useful in the practice of telemedicine.
