Modular camera attachment for optical devices

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions executable by a computer and configured to perform:

• linking a modular camera accessory (MCA) to a smart device using a data connection;
• activating an application on the smart device to perform a collimation function between the MCA and a modular camera attachment-enabled optical (MCO) device;
• receiving collimation data from the MCA and a camera of the smart device configured to capture collimation data from the optical path of the MCO device;
• processing the collimation data received from the MCA and the MCO device to determine alignment indicators;
• using the determined alignment indicators, aligning the MCA with the MCO device optical characteristics;
• and
• activating the application on the smart device to process data received from the MCA.

A computer-implemented system, comprising:

• a hardware processor interoperably coupled with a computer memory and configured to perform:
• linking a modular camera accessory (MCA) to a smart device using a data connection;
• activating an application on the smart device to perform a collimation function between the MCA and a modular camera attachment-enabled optical (MCO) device;
• receiving collimation data from the MCA and a camera of the smart device configured to capture collimation data from the optical path of the MCO device;
• processing the collimation data received from the MCA and the MCO device to determine alignment indicators;
• using the determined alignment indicators, aligning the MCA with the MCO device optical characteristics;
• and
• activating the application on the smart device to process data received from the MCA.
