Abstract:
An apparatus and method are disclosed to produce a stereoscopic image with a hemispherical field of view. In an implementation, the apparatus includes an optical arrangement to receive first light rays from a first fisheye lens and second light rays from a second fisheye lens. The first fisheye lens and the second fisheye lens are positioned adjacent to each other and an object side of each of the first and second fisheye lenses faces a first plane. The optical arrangement is to direct the first light rays and the second light rays onto an image sensor and bend optical axes of the first and second light rays such that the first light rays are projected onto the image sensor alongside the second light rays.
