dual lens

Paired viewing glasses

Dual lens describes a camera system with two separate lenses working together, typically found in smartphones and digital cameras.

One lens might capture wide-angle shots while the other handles zoom or depth sensing: The dual lens setup lets you blur backgrounds like a professional camera.

The configuration allows effects impossible with a single lens, such as improved low-light performance or 3D depth mapping.
