IMAGE CAPTURE APPARATUS, WEARABLE DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18344989 titled 'IMAGE CAPTURE APPARATUS, WEARABLE DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image capture apparatus that can communicate with multiple wearable devices. It includes an image capturing unit, an acquisition unit, and a control unit. The image capturing unit captures images, while the acquisition unit acquires position information of an object that users wearing the wearable devices are looking at. The control unit then adjusts the framing of the captured image based on the position information of the object.

  • The apparatus can communicate with multiple wearable devices.
  • It captures images and acquires position information of objects.
  • The framing of the captured image is adjusted based on the position information.

Potential Applications:

  • Photography and videography: The apparatus can be used by photographers and videographers to capture images and videos with improved framing based on the position of the subject.
  • Augmented reality: The apparatus can be integrated into augmented reality systems to enhance the user's experience by adjusting the framing of virtual objects based on the user's gaze.

Problems Solved:

  • Improved framing: The apparatus solves the problem of capturing images or videos with incorrect framing by adjusting it based on the position of the object being viewed.
  • User convenience: Users wearing the wearable devices do not need to manually adjust the framing, as the apparatus automatically adjusts it based on their gaze.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced image quality: By adjusting the framing based on the position of the object, the apparatus can capture images with improved composition and subject placement.
  • User-friendly: The automatic adjustment of framing eliminates the need for users to manually adjust the camera or wearable device, making it more convenient and user-friendly.
  • Improved augmented reality experience: By adjusting the framing of virtual objects based on the user's gaze, the apparatus can provide a more immersive and realistic augmented reality experience.
