Abstract

A system includes a first camera operable to capture omnidirectional images and send omnidirectional-image data representing the omnidirectional images, a second camera operable to capture narrow-view images and send narrow-view-image data representing the narrow-view images, a video processor coupled to the first camera and the second camera and operable to form combined-image data using at least part of the omnidirectional-image data and the narrow-view-image data, and a display module interoperably coupled to the video processor and operable to display combined images from the combined-image data. The combined images each comprise a narrow-view-display portion and an omnidirectional-display portion.
