fixation point of the pair of eyes based on the stereo base
distance and the respective alignment direction as required by
claim 13. This is because Lamprecht is dealing with a person who
is cross-eyed in which there is no fixation point of the pair of
eyes for the cameras to be aligned with because the optical axes
of eyes A1, A2 do not converge to a point of regard in a cross-
eyed individual. Therefore, we will not sustain the rejection of
claims 13 through 20 and 25 through 43.
We now turn to the rejection of claims 44 through 46 under
35 U.S.C. § 102 as being anticipated by Lamprecht. Appellant
argues that Lamprecht does not disclose at least one camera
arranged in correspondence with the pair of eyes, at least one
camera having an optical parameter in common with said pair of
eyes.
We note that claim 44 recites
an image recording system for capturing image
information parallel to the visual detection of image
information by a pair of eyes, said image recording
system comprising, at least one camera arranged in
correspondence with said pair of eyes, said at least
one camera having an optical parameter in common with
