A videophone. The videophone can include an imaging mechanism for taking a video picture of a scene. The videophone can include a mechanism for producing a first video stream of the scene and a second video stream of the scene from the video picture and sending the first video stream and the second video stream onto a network at the same time, the producing mechanism in communication with the imaging mechanism. The videophone can include a mechanism for receiving a plurality of video streams of different scenes from a network. The videophone can include a mechanism for displaying the different scenes of the plurality of video streams alongside each other. A method for a video call.

An imaging apparatus. The apparatus includes a display mechanism for displaying an image. The apparatus includes a camera mechanism distributed throughout the display mechanism to take images of objects in view of the display mechanism. A screen. The screen includes a display for displaying an image. The screen includes a plurality of pinholes distributed in the display. The screen includes a plurality of sensors with at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors in alignment with and corresponding with one pinhole of the plurality of pinholes to receive light passing through the pinhole to image a ray of a specific size and a specific direction out from the display. A method for imaging.

Method and apparatus for displaying images in combination with taking images

Image display apparatus comprises a display monitor; an image frame buffer for storing data defining the color content of pixels of an image; and a control system for selecting from the frame buffer for each pixel displayed on the monitor the appropriate pixel data from the frame buffer. The relationship between the monitor pixels and the frame buffer pixels is defined by a preselected composite linear function, wherein the control system determines the frame buffer pixels corresponding to the monitor pixels by applying the preselected composite linear function in a stepwise manner.
