DETAILED EXPLANATION OF INVENTION

[0036] Human percepts depth because of two eyes. If one of two eyes is closed, people can not sense which one of same looking objects is closer and the other one is further.

[0037] If you close the left eye and right eye sequentially, images are different from each other because of distance of the eyes. Left eye sees left side of the object, right eye sees right side of the object. Depth perception and 3D view consists of these two different images. That's why any 3D photo, video or selfie photo, selfie video can be taken by the two cameras. Likewise, the software can put any augmented reality object in the right depth of the taken photo or video, because of these two cameras.

[0038] So the two cameras (12 A-B) must be placed 45-75 mm distant from each other, on the back of smartphone for taking 3D photos and videos.

[0039] In the same way, the other two cameras (11 A-B) must be placed 45-75 mm distant from each other in front of the smartphone for taking 3D selfie photos and selfie videos.

[0040] FIG. 2 shows the settlement of two cameras on back of the smartphone (10). Back left camera (12 A) and back right camera (12 B) are located on back of the smartphone (10) as two eyes in horizontal position. 3D photos and videos can be taken, because of back left camera (12 A) and back right camera (12 B). The 45-75 mm distance of back left camera (12 A) and back right camera (12 B) enables to take 3D photos and videos. That's why two eyes and two cameras have the same principle for recording and real-time video shoot.

[0041] FIG. 4 shows how the back cameras (12 A-B) of smartphone (10) can percept, take and send to display (20). Back left camera (12 A) and back right camera (12B) see the object (30) in different Angeles than each other. These images are sent to display as received. Display (20) is divided into two equal parts for these two different images.

[0042] FIG. 3 is the exploded picture of smartphone (10) that is connected to 360 VR (40). User can watch 3D images on display (20) from the back left camera (12 A) and the back right camera (12 B), with smartphone (10) that is in 360 VR (40).

[0043] FIG. 1 shows the settlement of two cameras on front of the smartphone (10). The front left camera (11 A) and the front right camera (11 B) are located on front of the smartphone (10) like two eyes in horizontal position. The front left camera (11 A) and the front right camera (11 B) come into play and take 3D images of environment during bidirectional video call.

[0044] FIG. 5 shows the areas left and right cameras focus and shows how the software selects the areas of stereo cameras according to the distance of objects (30) and according to angles. That means the cameras focus on objects (30) depends on if the distance of the object is far (1), medium (2) or near (3). This distance determines where the augmented reality objects are placed by the software. The same way, the software minimizes the amount of blind spots of environment images that are taken by the front cameras (11 A-B) and/or back cameras (12 A-B), according to the distance.

[0045] The smartphone cameras run in three working principles. These are CSI, CSI-2 and CSI-3 (Camera Serial Interface). This invention method works in the same principles and the data flow chart is shown below.
