Stereoscopic imaging systems with convergence control for reducing conflicts between accomodation and convergence

This is a 3D camera system with two lenses, similar to human eyes, that can adjust its focus point in space. This adjustable focus point, called the point of convergence, can be moved closer or farther away from the camera. The system actively adjusts this point, either automatically based on the distance to an object or through user input, to make viewing 3D images more comfortable by reducing eye strain.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of AR/VR headsets, which are highly sensitive to vergence-accommodation conflict. Modern depth sensors and computational power make real-time convergence adjustment more feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedPrecision mechanics, image sensors, control electronics
