If you’d like to use your cellbot’s camera to get a good look at what is around the cellbot, you may have noticed that most cellphone cameras have a very narrow field of view, with only about 50 degrees of visibility. Especially in indoor situations, this is simply too narrow of a field to really let you see. Here is an example using a Toda-Seiko 0.5x magnification wide-angle lens:
You can see the field of view has pretty much doubled. Toda Seiko also makes an even wider-angle lens and a fisheye lens that I have not tried yet — the fisheye lens claims to give a full 180 degree field of view! All of these lenses mount via self-adhesive magnetic rings that you attach around your phone’s camera, allowing the lens to be attached/removed with ease. Note, however, that if your phone features a protruding lens or doesn’t have a flat surface around your lens, the magnetic ring might not attach well.

Nice post. I study something tougher on different blogs everyday. It would always be stimulating to learn content from different writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d want to use some with the content material on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll offer you a link on your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.
This particular really answered my difficulty, many thanks!
