Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for implementing a polarizer with variable orientation, comprising: receiving, at an image sensor of a computing device, light that has at least in part passed through a layer comprising liquid crystal material; applying a voltage in association with the layer comprising liquid crystal material, the voltage causing at least a portion of the liquid crystal material in the layer to align to a particular orientation, the portion of the liquid crystal material when aligned to the particular orientation causing the light to at least partially change in orientation in relation to the image sensor; generating a sample image based at least in part on the light at least partially changed in orientation in relation to the image sensor; determining that the sample image has an image quality above a threshold; and capturing an image using the image sensor while applying the voltage in association with the layer comprising liquid crystal material.
