A Simple, Versatile Device for Multiplanar Photography

Abstract

Background:. Taking pictures of protruding body parts (such as fingertips, toes, nipples, auricles, hands, and feet) from multiple directions is difficult. To solve this problem, we developed a simple and easy-to-use device, using mirrors. Methods:. The device is composed of 4 trapezoidal plane plastic mirrors firmly connected to each other. It is possible to photograph the object from 5 directions at once, including the real image of the object at the center, and 4 images that are reflected in the mirrors around the sides. Results:. The device allowed photographing various body parts from multiple directions at once. Conclusion:. This simple and easy-to-use device helps us to take additional photographs in a single shot, which previously took more time and effort.
