1. A camera device, comprising:
a light guiding medium to guide a light;
an input coupling region disposed at the light guiding medium, the input coupling region including at least two input coupling deflection structures, each of which is configured to couple, into the light guiding medium, the light in a spectral range,
when the light is incident on respective input coupling deflection structures, from among the at least two input coupling deflection structures, the light being incident from a respective angle-of-incidence region, from among angle-of-incidence regions, from surroundings of the camera device,
the at least two input coupling deflection structures are selective vis a vis different spectral ranges and the angle-of-incidence regions;
an output coupling region disposed at the light guiding medium, the output coupling region including at least two output coupling deflection structures, each of which is configured to couple out from the light guiding medium the light in the spectral range coupled in by the respective input coupling deflection structures; and
an image capturing unit disposed at the output coupling region, the image capturing unit including at least two capture regions, each of which is configured to capture the light coupled out by respective output coupling deflection structures, from among the at least two output coupling deflection structures, and the image capturing unit being configured to generate image data based on the light coupled out by the respective output coupling deflection structures,
wherein the light guiding medium is to transmit the light coupled in by the respective input coupling deflection structures from the input coupling region to the output coupling region by internal reflection.
