Abstract: A method for capturing an improved archival image using an electronic image capture device having a flash, comprising: capturing at least two preview images of a scene at different capture times using the image capture device; determining a scene brightness; using a processor to analyze the captured preview images to determine a motion velocity for the scene; determining a flash exposure setting and an ambient exposure setting responsive to a ratio between the determined scene brightness and the determined motion velocity; and capturing an archival image using the determined flash exposure setting and the determined ambient exposure setting.

Abstract: An apparatus for viewing of an image of a scene, including a monocular device worn by a viewer which includes a first display for displaying a first two-dimensional image of the scene with a first perspective to one eye of the viewer. a second display for displaying a second two-dimensional image of the scene with a second perspective to the other eye of the viewer, wherein the first perspective of the scene is different from the second perspective of the scene so that the viewer perceives a three dimensional image of the scene, while another viewer of the second display, that is not wearing a monocular device, views the two-dimensional image of the scene.

Abstract: A method for viewing of a three dimensional image of a scene with a monocular device on one eye for viewing a first two-dimensional image of the scene and providing a second display for viewing a second two-dimensional image of the scene in a stereo image pair with the other eye. Using a camera to provide an image of the second display to determine the position of the second display relative to the first display. Adjusting the alignment of the first two-dimensional image in correspondence to the determined position of the second display relative to the first display, whereby the viewer perceives a three dimensional image of the scene and one or more other viewers that are not wearing monocular devices can view the second display with both eyes so that they can perceive a two-dimensional image of the scene.

Abstract: An apparatus for viewing of a three dimensional image of a scene including a monocular device worn by a viewer over one eye for displaying first two-dimensional images of the scene and a mechanism for rotating the first display in response to perceived rotational misalignments with a second display that displays second two dimensional images in stereo image pairs. A second display for displaying the second two-dimensional images of the scene. A way of determining lateral, longitudinal and rotational misalignments of the first images relative to the second images. A controller for providing lateral and longitudinal shifts of the first images on the first display and rotational movements of the mechanism to align the first and second images so the viewer perceives a three dimensional image of the scene.

Abstract: An apparatus for viewing of a three dimensional image of a scene, including a monocular device worn by a viewer for displaying a first two-dimensional image to one eye of the viewer, The monocular device being arranged so it can be worn on either eye of the viewer. A second display for displaying a second two-dimensional image of the scene in a stereo image pair which is viewed by the other eye of the viewer. A way of selecting the first two-dimensional image with either a left or right perspective relative to the second two-dimensional image dependent upon which eye the viewer uses with the monocular device.
