Abstract

An information handling system selectively extends a camera from a housing along an extension axis to collect light along a plane substantially perpendicular to the extension axis. A mirror structure coupled over a light sensor redirects light from along the plane towards the extension axis and into the light sensor. Distortions of the visual image captured by the light sensor are corrected at the information handling system, such as with a digital signal processor integrated with the light sensor. In one embodiment, the mirror structure moves to direct light from only a portion of the plane towards the light sensor.
