Systems, methods and apparatus related to a motorized platform for use in
creating three dimensional images. The motorized platform includes a
symmetrical steering system such that a digital camera remains focused
upon a desired image target as the motorized platform is advanced. The
symmetrical steering system includes a three-wheel arrangement providing
a constant radius path around the image target. A pair of steerable
wheels located on an inside edge of the motorized platform are operably
connected with a steering linkage assembly such that the steerable wheels
are angularly adjusted to define the constant radius path. A drive wheel
is operably connected to a motor assembly for propelling the motorized
platform along the constant radius path. A digital camera can be mounted
to a tripod attached to the motorized platform and the digital camera can
be operably controlled either manually or automatically as the motorized
platform is advanced.
