          Application No. 08/930,100                                                  

          and establishes a fixation point of said pair of eyes based on              
          the stereo based distance and the respective alignment direction            
          and aligns the camera towards the fixation point to collect said            
          image information.                                                          
               Independent claim 13 present in the application is                     
          reproduced as follows:                                                      
          13. A method for capturing image information parallel to the                
          visual detection of image information by a pair of eyes, said               
          method comprising the steps of:                                             
               a)   providing an image-recording system arranged in                   
          correspondence with said pair of eyes, and control means for                
          changing the alignment of said image recording system;                      
               b)   measuring a stereo base distance between said pair of             
          eyes;                                                                       
               c)   measuring a respective alignment direction for each of            
          said pair of eyes;                                                          
               d)   establishing a fixation point of said pair of eyes                
          based on said stereo base distance and said respective alignment            
          directions; and                                                             
               e)   aligning said image-recording system toward said                  
          fixation point to collect said image information.                           
                                     References
