A new patent application suggests that Microsoft could be working on a device that will come with the multi-part camera system. According to the patent, the camera system will have a body and a flexible mount, and it would be able to reduce the tilt error. First noticed by us, the patent titled “Self-aligning multi-part camera system” was published by USPTO earlier today and filed by Microsoft in 2016. “In some multi-part electronic devices, at least two of the multiple parts can be positioned to overlap each other to provide a specific operation for the camera. As just one example, the overlapped mode may provide for additional focusing options based on using optical elements in a second part of the device with a main camera part in a first part of the device when the first and second parts of the device are overlapped,” Microsoft explains in the background section of the patent application. The device feature multiple displays or body parts with one part comprising a camera and there is another camera module which is mounted on the second part of the device.
