Abstract

An optical communication system includes a display having display pixels operable to display an image and a digital camera disposed and operable to capture and record the displayed image. A digital camera frame rate can be greater than a display frame rate. Multiple digital cameras can be disposed and operable to capture and record the displayed image. A mirror can be disposed to reflect the image from the display to a digital camera. One or more intermediate digital cameras and displays can be disposed to capture and re-display the image for the digital camera. Images can include encoded addresses for the digital cameras. Synchronization display pixels can indicate new displayed images to trigger a digital camera to record the new displayed image. A camera light emitter can indicate that a digital camera has recorded a displayed image.
