Abstract
To address issues of capturing and processing images, a mobile computing device is provided. The mobile computing device may include a two-part housing coupled by a hinge, with first and second parts that include first and second displays, respectively. The hinge may permit the displays to rotate throughout a plurality of angular orientations. The mobile computing device may include one or more sensor devices, processor, first camera, and second camera mounted in the housing. The one or more sensor devices may be configured to measure the relative angular displacement of the housing, and the processor may be configured to process images captured by the first and second cameras according to a selected function based upon the relative angular displacement measured by the one or more sensor devices.
