1. An imaging system comprising:
a lens assembly comprising a wide field of view lens, the lens assembly to receive raw light rays and to output transformed light rays with a full field of view, the transformed light rays including a first transformed light ray bundle and a second transformed light ray bundle;
an imaging sensor, wherein the imaging sensor is sized to collect image data from the transformed light rays from only a portion of the full field of view; and
a steering mechanism to toggle the image data collected via the imaging sensor between the first transformed light ray bundle and the second transformed light ray bundle.
