Abstract:
Systems and method relating to creating a virtual reality, such as a three-dimensional virtual reality, representation of physical scene. In this aspect, such a method may comprise gathering information from an array of cameras positioned on a two-dimensional planar surface. In this particular aspect, one or more of the cameras may be positioned at a different angle relative to the two-dimensional planar surface based at least in part on a respective distance of each of the one or more cameras from a midpoint of the planar surface. Furthermore, in this general aspect the method may further comprise processing the gathered information at least in part to render a virtual reality representation of the physical scene.
