Camera and method for composing multi-perspective images

This invention describes a camera that takes two separate pictures of the same scene, one after the other, using a single lens. After capturing both images, it displays them simultaneously, one to each eye of the viewer, allowing the person to perceive depth and differences in perspective. The viewer uses a pair of optical systems, potentially separate displays, to show each image.

Why it matters: Filed before modern computational photography and high-resolution compact displays made capturing precise sequential images with a single lens and presenting them in a dual-display viewer practical and high-quality.
