Abstract:
An imaging system for producing images to be displayed to user via a head-mounted display apparatus that includes means for detecting gaze direction of user. The imaging system includes a first outer camera and a second outer camera, at least one inner camera, and processor coupled to aforesaid cameras and means for detecting gaze direction. The processor is configured to (i) obtain inter-pupillary distance of user with respect to user's gaze at infinity; (ii) receive detected gaze direction; (iii) control first outer camera, second outer camera and at least one inner camera to capture first outer image, second outer image and at least one inner image of a scene; and (iv) process first outer image and inner image to generate first view of the scene, and process second outer image and inner image to generate second view of the scene, based upon inter-pupillary distance and detected gaze direction.
