Abstract
Novel applications for anamorphic lenses in smart glasses. Anamorphic lenses preserve straightness of motion and lines (i.e., “linearity”). As a practical matter, existing computer vision models can be used with anamorphic images without re-training or intermediate conversion steps (unlike fisheye lenses). The contents of the present disclosure provide substantial improvements for applications that have different FOV requirements along different axis. Solutions for ergonomic hand placement (relative to gaze), non-square photosites, binning and eye-tracking are discussed throughout.
