Abstract

See full text

An electronic device may have a stereoscopic camera module with left and right image sensors separated by a stereo base line. The camera module may have an adjustable convergence such that the position at which objects are captured by the left and right image sensors with zero horizontal disparity can be moved closer to and farther from the electronic device. The convergence of the camera module may be adjusted such that a region of interest or an object (i.e., subject) is captured with minimal horizontal disparity. With arrangements of this type, conflicts between accommodation (e.g., the location of a display) and convergence (e.g., the perceived location of the region of interest or subject either behind, on the plane of, or in front of a display) may be reduced.
