ABSTRACT:
An image acquisition system including at least two image projectors, a television camera and a modular desk for supporting the projectors and the camera wherein the image projectors are supported at predetermined locations on a tabletop supported for sliding and rotary movement so that the camera can receive projected images from a desired one of the image projectors by merely adjusting the angular position between the tabletop and a lower cabinet of the desk. The desk includes an upper cabinet having an image acquisition aperture formed therethrough and aligned with the desired one of the image projectors. The modular desk also includes a slab supported on the lower cabinet. In one embodiment of the invention a movable table supports the tabletop. In a second embodiment the tabletop is slidably and rotatably supported on a pair of spaced tracks mounted on the top surface of the slab. Preferably, the camera is supported outside the upper cabinet aligned with a second image acquisition aperture formed through the upper cabinet and a mirror disposed therein to reflect the projected image.
