Abstract
A mobile device-mountable camera apparatus includes a panoramic camera system and a cable-free mounting arrangement. The panoramic camera system includes a panoramic lens assembly and a sensor. The lens assembly provides a vertical field of view in a range of greater than 180° to 360°. The sensor is positioned in image-receiving relation to the lens assembly and is operable to produce image data based on an image received through the lens assembly. The mounting arrangement is configured to removably secure the panoramic camera system to an externally-accessible data port of a mobile computing device to facilitate transfer of the image data to processing circuitry of the mobile device. The mobile device's processing circuitry may produce a video image from the image data and display of the video image may be manipulated based on a change of orientation of the mobile device and/or a touch action of the device user.
