(under the class definition) Subject matter including means for recording or reproducing a single motion picture sequence from a plurality of angularly separated view points such that the individual pictures cooperate to produce the illusion of a continuous picture of greater angular extent than any of the constituent pictures.
(1) Note. This subclass is limited to those devices which employ angular scanning or plural optical systems to cover the field of view. For extreme wide angle lenses see Class 359, Optics: Systems (Including Communication) and Elements, subclasses 642+, particularly subclasses 668+ for anamorphic lenses. Motion picture devices which are useable with this type lens in addition to normal optics are classified in this class, subclass 79.
