<p>The apparatus includes a verticle support structure (12), lower and upper lens blocks (18, 20) and a convex reflective surface (32). The upper lens block is secured to the lower lens block and has a convex outer surface having a substantially vertical axis of revolution. The convex reflective surface is located on the upper lens block. Light from a 360 degree surrounding panoramic scene is capable of passing through the convex outer surface of the upper lens block into the upper lens block, the light is then reflected off the convex reflective surface and the light then passes through the upper lens block and then through the lower lens block. In such an apparatus, there is little obscuring of the panoramic view by the support structure.</p> |
