Synthetic camera lenses

A device comprising:

• a camera;
• a display device;
• and
• one or more computing devices operatively coupled to the camera and to the display device, the one or more computing devices being configured to
• identify one or more orientations of the camera for which one or more images are to be captured to obtain image data to simulate a selected lens type;
• provide, for display on the display device, one or more visual indicia corresponding to the one or more camera orientations at which the one or more images are to be captured;
• determine whether a given one of the one or more images has been captured at a selected one of the one or more camera orientations;
• in response to the determination, change a characteristic of a first one of the one or more visual indicia corresponding to the given image;
• and
• when the image data to simulate a selected lens type has been obtained, provide for presentation on the display device, a new image corresponding to the selected lens type.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement a method comprising:

• identifying one or more orientations of a camera for which one or more images are to be captured to obtain image data to simulate a selected lens type;
• providing, for display on a display device, one or more visual indicia corresponding to the one or more camera orientations at which the one or more images are to be captured;
• determining whether a given one of the one or more images has been captured at a selected one of the one or more camera orientations;
• in response to the determining, changing a characteristic of a first one of the one or more visual indicia corresponding to the given image;
• and
• when the image data to simulate a selected lens type has been obtained, providing a new image for display corresponding to the selected lens type.
