U-cover camera phone

An active lens cover for a device, such as a smart phone with a dual lens camera. The camera lens that faces the user and the camera lens that faces away from the user are not directly behind each other, but are slightly offset. The active lens cover is advantageously in the shape of a “U”, which allows a single cover to be used to protect both lenses. The offset arrangement of the two lenses allows the facing lens be exposed by sliding the lens cover in one direction, and the away lens to be exposed by sliding the lens cover in the opposite direction. When the lens cover is slid to expose the facing camera lens, the camera phone automatically turns ON and enters a pre-selected operating mode. When the cover is slid in the opposite direction to expose the away camera lens, the camera phone automatically turns ON and enters another pre-selected operating mode. The housing of the U-cover includes at least one sensor that tells the device's CPU what hardware to activate. In the preferred embodiment, the user is able to seamlessly switch between transmitting a video feed from either camera during a telephone call.

Adjustable display stereoscope

A stereoscopic display system (10) comprising a pair of convergent lenses (14) and a sheet of resilient, transparent material (12) formed into a picture holder (18) and a lens holder (20) joined by a base (16) that holds them erect and parallel for viewing a stereoscopic image pair mounted in the picture holder through the lenses mounted in the lens holder. A median slot (21) extending through the lens holder into an adjacent portion of the base divides these sections into two lens support arms (31) and provides an intervening space shaped to accommodate the viewer's nose and to maintain a clearance space for the resilient approximation of the lens support arms. Adjustments for focus, diopter, interpupillary distance, and stereofield separation and vertical alignment, are made by flexing the lens support arms collectively and differentially in longitudinal and transverse directions. The picture holder is adapted to durably or transiently hold stereograms of various sizes and formats, in the form of prints, transparencies or slides, LCDs or other thin image support media. A second picture can be displayed on the reverse side of the picture holder. The lens holder can accept replacement optics for optics for customization to the user's vision requirements and can be adapted for durable setting of interocular distance.

Multifunction dual lens matching device for stereoscopic 3D camera system

This invention is for target remapping, telecentricity compensation, and a new PID motion control algorithm to align and control to a very high tolerance multiple functions to two lenses simultaneously in a stereoscopic 3D camera system. To control two lenses in a 3D camera rig such that they match as closely as possible in “actual” positions, a new error variable is calculated, based on the difference between the “actual” positions of both lenses. This is added to the PID formula, as a new statement, with a new coefficient, which we call the PID3D algorithm.
