Panasonic’s Organic Sensor May Be Complete, But Likely Won’t Be Used
The future of Panasonic's organic sensor, a global shutter technology it has been developing with Fujifilm since 2013, doesn't look promising.
Panasonic’s Decade-Old Organic CMOS Sensor is Still Years Away
In a recent interview, Panasonic says that it hopes to begin commercializing its organic CMOS sensor "in a few years," indicating that the sensor first shown in 2013 is still not close to coming to market.
Panasonic Still Hasn’t Finished the Organic CMOS Sensor it Began in 2013
Panasonic has touted additional benefits of the organic CMOS sensor that it has been working on for nearly a decade, and while the developments still sound enticing, the company seems no closer to release.
World’s First Hydraulic Drone Promises Six-Hour Flight Times
Leveraging a new type of hydraulic pump, Flowcopter claims that it has created a large drone that is significantly lighter, more robust, lower in cost, and capable of greater range than any other in its segment on the market.
A New Image Sensor Using Quantum Dots Could Replace CMOS
Quantum dots are nanoparticles that are currently most commonly found in displays, but researchers have managed to leverage the tech to detect wavelengths of light on a sensor. The team argues the tech is capable of replacing CMOS sensors.
For-A Unveils First 2/3-Sensor Camera to Shoot 4K at 1,000 FPS
For-A has announced a new dual-sensor 2/3-inch 4K camera that allows for up to 1,000 frames per second with "no sacrifice on brightness" of the image that comes with traditional single-sensor cameras using broadcast lenses.
Canon Develops Sensor that Can Shoot Full Color Photos in the Dark
Canon has developed an image sensor that is capable of capturing high-quality color photography even in the dark. The company says that it will be able to shoot clear photos even in situations where nothing is visible to the naked eye.
Scientists Invent a Camera That Can See Through or Around Anything
Researchers from Northwestern's Engineering department have invented a new high-resolution camera that can see around corners and through objects -- even skin, fog, or a human skull.
Panasonic Advancing Development of 8K Global Shutter ‘Organic’ Sensor
Panasonic claims that its currently in-development Organic Photoconductive Film (OPF) CMOS uses a unique structure that will allow it to achieve high resolution, wide dynamic range, and a global shutter. Basically, it would be a game-changer.
New ‘5D’ Disc Storage Can Store 500TB of Data for 13 Billion Years
A new high-speed laser writing method claims that it can pack 500 terabytes (TB) of storage onto a single CD-sized glass disc. That equals somewhere in the neighborhood of 125,000,000 photos.
Canon Appears to be Making its Camera Hot Shoes A Lot More Useful
As part of development announcements, Canon has revealed that its forthcoming EOS R3 camera will have a more advanced hot shoe than previous cameras, and the company's latest camcorder announcement shows that it might be a lot more useful.
Engineer Develops Eyeball-Like Image Sensor Based on Art of Kirigami
A mechanical engineer has developed a camera with what is described as a "curvy" and eyeball-like adaptable imaging sensor that is based on the Japanese art of cutting and folding paper (kirigami) that he claims could improve the quality of some types of cameras.
MIT Engineers Create Camera Lens That Focuses With No Moving Parts
Using physical glass elements for camera lenses has been at the core of imaging technology for centuries, but MIT engineers have now fabricated a new "metalens" that can focus on objects at multiple depths without changing its physical position or shape.
How This Blind Photographer Captures Images Using Sound-Based Device
Pranav Lal is a photographer from New Delhi, India who, despite his blindness, is able to take photos thanks to The vOICe, a device that turns live camera images into sounds that he can use to compose his images.
This Super Accurate Portrait Selection Tech Uses Neural Networks
A future version of Photoshop may include some pretty powerful automatic selection tools if the technology in this new paper by researchers at The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Adobe Research pans out.
New Stop-Motion Technology Eliminates the Need for Complex Rigs
An interesting new video-based interface technology developed in Hong Kong promises to make stop-motion animation more accessible to beginners, while making it that much easier for the pros as well.
It doesn't have an official name, but when used in combination with traditional techniques, the new interface could help take your stop-motion animation to the next level.
