Scientists have created a flat camera without lens (2 photos + video)
Camera modern smartphones in its technical characteristics can often compete with a good SLR. However, gadgets are becoming thinner and protruding from the lenses first, look unattractive, and whatever is claimed, and, secondly, often scratched. A group of scientists from the University of California asked a solution to this problem and introduced a flat camera with no lens.
From a technical point of view, here is the standard matrix, the parameters of which have always been considered most important when choosing a photographic equipment, applied optical phased array. It consists of sensing elements, which catch and process the light beam in millisecond. In practice, this sensor allows you to create clear pictures of quickly switching from fisheye to telephoto. In addition to smartphones, the new product will be relevant when you build compact telescopes Amateur and semi-professional level.
The development is made on the same principle as last year’s scanner for barcodes, also represented by a group of scientists from Caltech. Specialists do not stop there. Their new goal camera with a maximum resolution.
