发明名称 WEARABLE CAMERA SYSTEM WITH VIEWFINDER MEANS
摘要 A novel means and apparatus for a new kind of photography and videography is described. In particular, a wearable camera with a viewfinder suitable for longterm use is introduced. The system, in effect, absorbs and quantifies rays of light a nd processes this quantigraphic information on a small wearable computer system, th en the processed information is re-constituted into light rays emerging to reconstr uct the virtual image of objects at nearly the same position in space, or at a coord inate transformed position, as viewed by the wearer of the apparatus. The wearer of th e apparatus becomes, after adaptation, an entity that seeks, without conscious tho ught or effort, an optimal point of vantage and camera orientation. Because of the we arer's ability to constantly see the world through the apparatus, which may also functi on as an image enhancement device, the apparatus behaves as a true extension of the wearer's mind and body, giving rise to a new genre of documentary video.
