Abstract

The invention presents an omnidirectional system capable of collecting horizontal disparities in multiple angles. The user of the display system will be able to move its head, changing yaw and tilt. Another incarnation to the invention also allows for roll. The system is composed of a series of prisms and/or mirrors arranged in a circular pattern. The prisms or mirrors provide a 90 degree shift of the imagery collected, enabling a single camera to perform the image acquisition.
