A stereo panoramic view is provided through the use of multiple virtual optical centers. A reflective polyhedral element (40), such as a pyramid, redirects the field of view of each camera in a first set of cameras (52,54,56,58) to form a group of substantially co-located virtual optical centers (90) at a first location within the pyramid. The pyramid also redirects the field of view of each camera in a second set of cameras to form a group of substantially co-located virtual optical centers at a second location within the pyramid. Panoramic images from the first and second virtual optical centers provide a stereo panoramic view when one panoramic image is provided to a user's left eye and the other panoramic image is provided to the user's right eye. <IMAGE> |
