Future camera with Self Adaptability features

Technology has been reforming at a good place in all most every area and photography is not an exception for it. When we look at the history of taking pictures a huge change can be known. You’ll find out the change by yourself when you read this Article.

Recently a thought of an aspiring mind had started a study on flexible camera. Why can’t the camera wrap around the things a question came to the mind of Dr.Shree Nayar.

Mr.Nayar, director for Computer Vision Lab of Columbia University. Studying on the science behind the photography that though appeared before him. Discussing with the fellow researchers and forming a team they had started research on the same.

The team includes Daniel Sims, Research Engineer at the lab and Yonghao Yue, a postdoctoral researcher along with Mr.Nayar. Taking the limitation of present Cameras which can take a picture from one point in space had created a flexible sheet camera which can wrap up things in many ways beyond your imagination.

Google Glass App Projects a Magnified Smartphone Screen for Visually Impaired

The team is exploring a relatively new approach for taking images, made an array of the flexible lens which can take unique pictures at different positions which wouldn’t have happened earlier.

The Flexible Sheet Camera consists of various blocks called pixels and each pixel having a small lens. But the drawback is that when the sheet is stretched the gap between the lenses would increase which results in missing information of the image.

Their initial idea to place lens for each and every pixel was also proved to be unsuccessful since it is tough to control all the pixels which are in millions. To avoid that problem they used silicone for the prototype sheet camera the native properties of the material allows adjusting the focal length of each lens depending on the curvature of the sheet. So, there is no chance of any gap and missing information can’t occur due to the deformation of the lens.

Google’s “Rich Cards “Allows Search Results to be More Visually Engaging

Upon several stages of testing and experimentation, the usage of silicone went successfully. Choosing the right material and shape allows itself to deform. The optical properties of the silicone have the potential and quality to deform in any way.

In the process of testing the Silicone sheet camera, a Nikon D90 Camera is placed under the sheet. The images captured clearly shows the increase in field view more as it flexed.

The research process will go on as many application materials are highly flexible in nature. The adaptable character of these materials allows the flex-cam to be more viable.

The invention of the self-deforming camera is a big step in the field of photography which can be a foundation for future cameras. They made be like a rubber bumper around your car which can give you clear view of 360 degrees or it may be a in the size of credit card.

“Skull Vibrations” will soon set you free from passwords

Still a long way to go in this research, this team is looking for partners for the development of sensors. It also requires some money as well as time. They are trying to manufacture a cam which can be relatively cheaper for broad use.

The 12.3 Megapixels Camera is capable of recording Ultra HD videos at 30 frames per second and high-quality images can be taken. The pictures and videos recorded on the action camera can also be downloaded using the paired smartphones.

LG Action CAMLTE comes up with a rating of IP67 which makes it repellent to dust & sand. It is water resistant and can be in the water for up to 30 minutes. A complete waterproof case which would be available in the third quarter enables the camera to participate in more action stunts like biking, off-road races, rafting, surfing and scuba diving.

It would also shoot crisp and smoother videos even when mounted to helmets, bicycles, cars and it doesn’t lose its perfection during action activities. It is powered by a 1,400mAh battery which would give the best full HD recording time of up to four hours.

Juno Cho, president of LG Electronics and Mobile Communications briefed that “We are committed to expanding the LG Playground ecosystem with both modules and standalone accessories and Action CAMLTE is one of much more that we plan to announce this year.”
