Stanford researchers cram 12,616 tiny lenses into a 3D camera

The Article has images
2008-03-19 22:03:37 by admin in Cool Gadgets and Gizmos
...Stanford is working on a 3D camera that uses 12,616 micro-lenses to generate high quality 3 megapixel images with self-contained depth maps that measure the distance to every object in the frame. The system works by focusing each lens above four different overlapping sensor arrays, which work in concert to determine depth just like your eyes....
