Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional three-dimensional VR technologies, such as cameras, lack night vision capabilities and can only display captured images in a two-dimensional format, failing to provide direct three-dimensional viewing and capturing.
Innovation Solution
A naked-eye three-dimensional VR camera with a lens module arranged according to pupil distance, a supplementary light module for night vision, and a montage module for splicing images to form a three-dimensional file, allowing synchronous capture and display of images side by side to create a three-dimensional effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If conventional three-dimensional VR technology is used, then three-dimensional image display is achieved, but night vision capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines a first lens module for visible light imaging, a second lens module for infrared imaging, and a supplementary light module into a single integrated camera body. This merging allows the device to simultaneously capture both visible and infrared images, enabling night vision capability while maintaining three-dimensional image capture functionality through the coordinated operation of multiple lens modules.
2Ease of operation
If conventional three-dimensional camera is used, then three-dimensional effect is achieved through optical transformation, but direct naked-eye three-dimensional viewing is not possible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the imaging system into two separate lens modules: a first lens module for capturing visible light images and a second lens module for capturing infrared images. Each module independently captures images for its respective eye, and the images are then spliced together. This segmentation allows direct naked-eye three-dimensional viewing without complex optical transformation, as each eye receives its corresponding image directly.
3Reliability
If synchronous image capture by multiple lens modules is implemented, then naked-eye three-dimensional effect is achieved, but device structure becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs a universal camera body structure that can accommodate multiple lens modules (first lens module for visible light, second lens module for infrared) and a supplementary light module. This multi-functional design allows the same basic structure to handle different imaging functions, reducing overall device complexity despite the presence of multiple lens modules. The control member coordinates all modules uniformly, further simplifying the system.
4Ease of manufacture
If images are captured and stored separately, then processing is simplified, but three-dimensional image file creation requires additional montage operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by capturing images synchronously from multiple lens modules with precise time synchronization. The control member coordinates the simultaneous capture of visible and infrared images, ensuring they correspond to the same moment in time. This preliminary synchronized capture reduces the complexity of subsequent montage operations, as the images are already temporally aligned and ready for direct splicing into three-dimensional image files.

AI summary
A naked-eye three-dimensional VR camera includes a first lens module and a second lens module arranged at intervals of a pupil distance to simulate human eyes and form a pupil distance difference between captured first and second images. When the first image through one eye and the second image through the other eye are observed from the display component through eyepiece member, a naked-eye three-dimensional effect can be directly formed. A montage module is connected to a control member or a memory card assembly to read files of the first and second images, and splice the first and second images according to a time axis. Because the first and second images are synchronously captured, so that the first and second images are combined to form a three-dimensional image file with the pupil distance difference, thereby playing the captured images on other naked-eye three-dimensional devices (such as VR glasses, VR helmets).
