    摘要: A mobile device includes a camera module that can alternate between a retracted state and an extended state. In the retracted state, the camera module is retracted into a recess in a housing of the mobile device. In the extended state, the camera module extends from the housing. While in the extended state, one or more cameras of the camera module capture images. A processor of the mobile device stitches the images into a panoramic image that optionally provides a 360 degree view. While in the extended state, the camera module may optionally rotate or fold.
