Abstract
A variable-resolution optical communication system includes a display operable to display an image and a variable-resolution camera disposed and operable to optically capture the image displayed on the variable-resolution display. A variable-resolution camera includes a camera substrate and camera pixels disposed on the camera substrate. The camera pixels have a variable spatial resolution, for example a variable camera pixel spacing, over the camera substrate and are controllable to capture light.
