31. A navigation system for a vehicle, comprising:
-
one or more pairs of video cameras, each pair having a first camera with a first sight-line and a second camera with a second sight-line, the second camera being spaced apart from the first camera by a selectively variable separation distance; a control mechanism for adjusting the first and second sight-lines, the control mechanism being configured to determine a desired convergence point and to adjust the first and second sight lines and the separation distance so that the first and second sight-lines intersect at the desired convergence point; and a display panel positioned within the vehicle for displaying the views captured by the one or more pairs of video cameras. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
