User interface for autofocus

1. A device comprising:

a camera including a lens assembly;

an autostereoscopic display to display an image to be captured by the camera;

at least one processor to perform an autofocus, of the camera, using a framed volume that is indicated with respect to a selected object in the image, wherein the autostereoscopic display is to:

indicate, to a user of the device that the autofocus is occurring, by presenting a first icon on the image and appearing to move perpendicularly on the selected object, relative to a second icon on the image at a first plane corresponding to a viewing surface of the autostereoscopic display, to different perceived depths to define the framed volume, including a first perceived depth, corresponding to a second plane parallel to the first plane and located between the viewing surface and the user, and

indicate, to the user that the autofocus is complete by stopping the first icon at a second perceived depth, corresponding to a third plane parallel to the first plane, wherein the third plane is located at the viewing surface or at an image of the selected object appearing at a distance from the viewing surface; and

a memory to store the captured image.

2. The device of claim 1 ,

wherein the autostereoscopic display displays the image in three dimensions.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

select the selected object, from multiple objects within a field of view of the camera, to bring into focus, wherein at least two of the multiple objects are at different distances from the camera.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the camera includes a first camera to capture a first image and a second camera to capture a second image, and

wherein the image to be captured includes the first image and the second image.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the autostereoscopic display displays the image in two dimensions, and

wherein, when the autofocus is complete, the autostereoscopic display shows the first icon at a perceived depth in the third plane corresponding to the viewing surface of the autostereoscopic display.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor selects the selected object, from multiple objects within a field of view of the camera, to bring into focus, and wherein at least two of the multiple objects are at different distances from the camera.

7. A method comprising:

displaying, by an autostereoscopic display of a device, an image, to be captured by a camera of the device, in three dimensions such that a user perceives depth of the image via a display associated with the camera;

performing, by at least one processor of the device, autofocus of the camera using a framed volume that is indicated with respect to a selected object in the image;

indicating, to a user of the device that the autofocus is occurring, by displaying a first icon appearing to move perpendicularly on the selected object, relative to a second icon on the image at a first plane corresponding to a viewing surface of the display, from different perceived depths corresponding to different planes parallel to the first plane to define the framed volume, wherein at least one of the different planes is located between the viewing surface and the user;

indicating, to the user that the autofocus is complete, by displaying the first icon at rest at a perceived depth corresponding to the first plane or to an image of the selected object at a distance from the viewing surface; and

capturing and storing the image in a memory.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

displaying the first icon moving from a first perceived depth on the image, at a second plane in front of the first plane, to a second perceived depth on the image, at a third plane behind the first plane, when performing the autofocus.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

selecting the selected object, of multiple objects within a field of view of the camera, to bring into focus, wherein at least two of the multiple objects are at different distances from the camera.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the camera includes a first camera and a second camera, wherein capturing the image includes capturing a first image with the first camera and capturing a second image with the second camera.

11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

displaying the image to be captured by the camera in two dimensions; and

displaying the first icon at a perceived depth corresponding to the surface of the display when the autofocus is complete.

12. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

selecting the selected object, of multiple objects within a field of view of the camera, to bring into focus, wherein at least two of the multiple objects are at different distances from the camera.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions, the instructions comprising:

one or more instructions to display an image, to be captured by a camera, via a display associated with the camera;

one or more instructions to use multiple icons, associated with performing an autofocus of the camera, to indicate a framed volume with respect to a selected object in the image;

one or more instructions to:

indicate, to a user of the device that the autofocus is occurring, by representing a first icon to be moving perpendicularly on the selected object, relative to a second icon on the image at a first plane corresponding to a viewing surface of the display, to different perceived depths to define the framed volume, including a first perceived depth on the image, corresponding to a second plane parallel to the first plane and located between the viewing surface and the user, and

indicate, to the user that the autofocus is complete, by positioning the first icon at a second perceived depth on the image, corresponding to a third plane parallel to the first plane, wherein the third plane is located at the viewing surface or at an image of the selected object appearing at a distance from the viewing surface; and

one or more instructions to capture and store the image in a memory.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , further comprising:

one or more instructions to autostereoscopically display the image, to be captured, in three dimensions.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , further comprising:

one or more instructions to select the selected object, of multiple objects within a field of view of the camera, to bring into focus, wherein at least two of the multiple objects are at different distances from the camera.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the one or more instructions to capture the image includes one or more instructions to capture a first image with a first camera and to capture a second image with a second camera.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , the computer-readable memory further comprising:

one or more instructions to display the image to be captured by the camera in two dimensions; and

one or more instructions to display the first icon at a perceived depth in the first plane corresponding to the surface of the display when the autofocus is complete.
