Abstract
A system for displaying an anamorphic image on a viewing surface comprises a screen having a viewing surface and an image source configured to display the anamorphic image on the viewing surface such that an image viewed on the viewing surface appears undistorted from a viewing point. In addition, the system may also include a reflective lens having a convex exterior surface and a refractive lens having a plurality of surfaces to redirect light toward an image capture device. Further, the system may include an image conversion module for converting a non-anamorphic image into the anamorphic image suitable for displaying on the viewing surface and a selected portion of the anamorphic image into at least one non-anamorphic image.
Claims17
A system for displaying an anamorphic image on a viewing surface such that an image viewed on the viewing surface appears undistorted from a viewing point, the system comprising:
- a screen having a viewing surface at least partially defined with respect to the viewing point and a focal point located on opposite sides of the viewing surface such that all light rays passing through the viewing surface and directed toward the viewing point would reflect off the viewing surface and intersect at the focal point if the viewing surface was reflective;
- and
- an image source configured to display the anamorphic image on the viewing surface such that an image viewed on the viewing surface appears undistorted from the viewing point.
