Scientists Develop a Lensless Camera That Uses a Glass Window Instead
Scientists have created a new lensless camera that can capture photos using a standard pane of window glass.
Caltech Made a Sensor That Could Be the Lensless Camera of the Future
The brainiacs at Caltech have produced something really cool: an imaging chip that produces an image from light sensors... without lenses. It's a chip that could be the birth of the future of photography.
How the Lens-less FlatCam May Change Cameras
NPR’s All Things Considered just broadcast this short segment on the …
The FlatCam Lens-less Camera is Thinner Than a Coin
FlatCam is a new camera with a technological breakthrough: it uses a thin mask instead of a traditional camera lens, allowing the entire camera system to be thinner than a coin.
Tiny, Lensless Sensor May Someday Turn Any Device Into a Rudimentary Camera
This latest device from technology licensing company Rambus goes to show: when you combine information-gathering sensors with powerful algorithms, you can yield some incredible results.
Developed by research scientist Patrick Gill, this 200 micron diameter glass sensor is capable of capturing an image of remarkable quality for its size. Etched with a spiral pattern, the light reflecting off of whatever object is being "photographed" is transferred as a pattern, in the form of spherical light, to the CMOS sensor.
Bell Labs Develops an Always-in-Focus Lensless Camera
Fancy an always-in-focus lensless camera in your arsenal of image capturing tools? It could be a while, but we're one step closer thanks to "compressive sensing," a technology developed by Bell Labs in New Jersey.
