Abstract
A lens, an apparatus, and a system, as well as a method and article, may operate to receive a plurality of left-eye rays through a first plurality of separating facets of a lens at an image-acquisition plane, and to receive a plurality of right-eye rays through a second plurality of separating facets of the lens at the image-acquisition plane. Data acquired from the image plane may be used to construct a stereoscopic image, including a moving, panoramic stereoscopic images. Lenses, image-capture devices, and projectors may be implemented that operate using three or more viewpoints.
