METHODS AND DEVICES FOR GENERATING A STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a first camera for generating first camera data, a second camera for generating second camera data and a third camera for generating third camera data, the cameras positioned on a same side of the electronic device and in spaced relation to each other; and
a controller coupled with the first camera, the second camera and the third camera, the controller configured to;
identify an orientation of the electronic device; and
generate a stereoscopic image based on the first camera data and the second camera data when the electronic device is at a first orientation, and generate the stereoscopic image based on the first camera data and the third camera data when the electronic device is at a second orientation.

Abstract
Methods and devices for generating a stereoscopic image are described. In one aspect, the electronic device includes a first camera for generating first camera data, a second camera for generating second camera data and a third camera for generating third camera data. The cameras are positioned on a same side of the electronic device and in spaced relation to each other. The electronic device also includes a controller coupled with the first camera, the second camera and the third camera. The controller is configured to: identify an orientation of the electronic device; and generate a stereoscopic image based on the first camera data and the second camera data when the electronic device is at a first orientation, and generate the stereoscopic image based on the first camera data and the third camera data when the electronic device is at a second orientation.
