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.
Claims7
A system for generating an anamorphic image from a non-anamorphic image, comprising:
- a memory for storing at least one dataset defining a non-anamorphic image;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
- convert a dataset defining a non-anamorphic image into at least one anamorphic image suitable for displaying on a viewing surface such that an image viewed on the viewing surface appears undistorted from a viewing point;
- and
- store the at least one anamorphic image in the memory.
