Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to extended visual capture in a reconfigurable device. In general, at least a display portion of a device may have a deformable shape configuration in that its shape is changeable by a user. The device may also comprise at least sensor circuitry including a plurality of sensors. The shape configuration may position the plurality of sensors at different positions to enable extended visual capture of a 180 to 360 degree viewing range surrounding the device in a single image or video. Control circuitry in the device may determine when shape reconfiguration of at least the display has occurred, determine whether the new shape configuration involves visual capture, and if the new shape configuration is determined to involve visual capture, determine an operational mode for the at least the sensor circuitry and cause the sensor circuitry to capture visual data based at least on the operational mode.
