ABSTRACT:
An image capture and viewing system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the present invention provides an image capture system for providing an image of a subject. The image capture system includes a planar surface, a first camera, a second camera and a control module. The first camera is positioned to capture a first subject image of a subject positioned between the planar surface and the first camera. The second camera is spaced from the first camera. The second camera is positioned to capture a second subject image of the subject. The control module is configured to generate a synthesized image of the subject from a virtual view point using the relative positioning of the first camera, the second camera, and a planar surface.
