Lens water dispersion
Systems and methods are disclosed for lens water dispersion. For example, an image capture device may include a lens mounted on a body of the image capture device; an image sensor mounted within the body, behind the lens and configured to capture images based on light incident on the image sensor through the lens; and a dispersion structure around a perimeter of the lens on an external surface of the body, wherein the dispersion structure includes gaps sized to cause capillary action to move water away from the lens, from a first edge of the dispersion structure to a second edge of the dispersion structure.
Imaging device and imaging optical system
A imaging device includes: a plurality of optical systems each forming an image of a subject; a plurality of imaging sensors corresponding to the respective plurality of optical systems; a common transmissive optical element through which optical paths of the respective plurality of optical systems pass; and a housing part that houses the optical systems, the imaging sensors and the transmissive optical element, the housing part having a peripheral surface along a circumferential direction about a reference axis, wherein at least two of the plurality of optical systems each have: a peripheral lens arranged along the peripheral surface and located closest to an object; and a first optical path, the first optical paths of the at least two optical systems intersecting each other inside the transmissive optical element.
Four-sided projection for augmented reality
A computer simulation may include a tabletop game in which multiple players each wearing a head-mounted display (HMD) view a tabletop projector housing with a different aspect of the game for each side of the housing. A projector assembly may be inside the housing. The housing may be a screen that unfolds into cube, and the projector projects light in all four screens so that everyone gets different perspective. A player may be enabled to switch between perspectives for different player's angles.
SPLIT SCREEN FEATURE FOR MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY
Mobile electronic devices comprising a first camera with a first field of view FOV.sub.1, a second, Macro camera with a Macro field of view FOV.sub.M smaller than FOV.sub.1, and a device screen that includes a first screen section configured to display first image data from the first camera and a second screen section configured to display second image data from the Macro camera when both cameras are focused to a distance equal to or smaller than 30 cm.

Tiling screen and multi-projection system
The tiling screen (screen) is provided with a plurality of projection areas, and includes an overlapping area where end parts of the projection areas overlap each other, wherein when setting a number of times of overlapping to one in the overlapping area, reflectance in the overlapping area where the number of times is one is configured to be lower than reflectance in an area where the projection areas fail to overlap each other, and when setting the number of times of overlapping to N (N≥2) in the overlapping area, the reflectance in the overlapping area where the number of times is N is configured to be lower than the reflectance in the overlapping area where the number of times of overlapping is a largest number of the numbers of times smaller than N.

Multiple camera system for wide angle imaging
Systems and techniques are described for large field of view digital imaging. A device's first image sensor captures a first image based on first light redirected from a first path onto a redirected first path by a first light redirection element, and the device's second image sensor captures a second image based on second light redirected from a second path onto a redirected second path by a second light redirection element. A virtual extension of the first path beyond the first light redirection element can intersect with a virtual extension of the second path intersect beyond the second light redirection element. The device can modify the first image and second image using perspective distortion correction, and can generate a combined image by combining the first image and the second image. The combined image can have a larger field of view than the first image and/or the second image.
Projection device and projection system
The projection device includes a display element that displays an image, a projection optical system that forms an intermediate image of the image within an air space and projects the intermediate image to form a projected image, and a light shielding member that is disposed within the air space. The light shielding member includes a light shielding region which is positioned outside optical paths of all effective luminous fluxes emitted from the display element and used to form the projected image. The projection device satisfies a predetermined conditional expression.
