 An incredible 3D camera
Electronics researchers from Stanford’s University are working on a new and revolutionary 3D camera which is promising several drastic changes in regard to the available devices on the market. Cameras are provided with a single lens and are capable of creating a representation of the reality in 2D quality on a flat surface. Aware of these technical limitations, professor Abbas El Gamal and his team of Stanford’s University, in the United States, worked out an ambitious concept : a device equipped with 12,616 lenses allowing to capture the electronic depth of an image, containing actual distance between the device and every object of the image.
