SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CAPTURING AND VIEWING STEREOSCOPIC PANORAMIC IMAGES

摘要

A stereoscopic image arrangement includes at least one stereoscopic data source (11A-11N), at least one utilization device (12A-12M) and a distribution channel (13). The at least one stereoscopic data source records images from which a stereoscopic image set can be generated. The utilization device is provided to facilitate viewing, printing, or otherwise utilizing the stereoscopic image set. The distribution channel facilitates transferring information between the stereoscopic data source and the utilization device, the information including the images as recorded by the stereoscopic data source or the stereoscopic image set itself. A number of stereoscopic data sources of diverse configurations are disclosed, including fixed and moving mirrors, prisms, and lenses, which may be used in the stereoscopic data source in the stereoscopic image arrangement.
