Abstract

This patent provides a novel stereoscopic imaging system. In the preferred embodiment, the improved stereoscopic imaging system would be incorporated onto a smart phone, which is called the stereoscopic smart phone (SSP). The SSP would work in conjunction with one or more stereoscopic head display units (SHDUs). Once this system is operational, it will allow significant improvements to obtaining stereoscopic imagery. One novel aspect of this patent comprises wherein the stereoscopic cameras on the SSP can move in position to alter stereo separation distance and change the convergence to optimally image a scene.
