This is a concept camera from MIT, which has the uncanny ability to capture images of things that aren't in view. Any camera can do that with a mirror, but this one uses a high shutterspeed of one quadrillionth of a second, Which can somehow get an image off an object like the door ...
It is amazing how things in nature happen too fast for the eye to see. It was once thought that a cat drank liquids by spoon them into its mouth, but thanks to high-speed video cameras, we know that it is more of a catapult motion that launches the liquid into its throat. ...
Ah, those folks at MIT are so creative, exploring some of the most interesting and unexpected possibilities of new technology. Just look at the work of grad student Ming-Zher Poh for example. He actually developed a method for monitoring your pulse with the use of a webcam and some software. Furthermore, Poh's method works ...
Recently, Adobe and MIT developed a way to match a current photograph perfectly with an image of the same scene captured by a camera years ago. This is made possible through visual homing, a robotics technique commonly used for programming machines to go to a certain location automatically. The program works by comparing ...
MIT has devoted an entire museum to classic Polaroid products. Exhibits included the original Polaroid Model 95, the first instant-picture camera that was first released in 1948. There are 9,000 other items on display like some Polarized glasses from the 1939 World's Fair, and a lot of other Polaroid things. Now, ...
I know, that definitely got my attention too when we talked about it here a couple weeks ago. A camera without lenses? How do you pull THIS off? Well, if you're MIT, the first place you look is at the LCD screen. Using a series of LCD displays that both capture and display images, MIT has assembled ...
Reading that cold, you might think I'm trying to play some kind of cruel joke on people who can't see what I've written anyway. But no, it's true--there's a group who have patients in the United States, Mexico and Europe, and they've been working to develop a surgically-implanted camera array. MIT isn't the only ones ...
With all the photo technology around us, it will only be a matter of time until some really smart doctors come up with a viable bionic eye capable of forever correcting eye sight problems and even blindness. In the mean time we have a prototype here coming from MIT which should improve the eye sight ...
Man, you've got to love those crazy kids at MIT...what won't they do next? What they did do this time around was show up NASA like there was no tomorrow. While the beleaguered space agency is whining and complaining about how they can't get enough money, a group of kids at MIT is blowing them out ...
We're not expecting this technology to be available any time soon, at least not to the public sector but we should assume that at some point in time we're going to see it in stores. The camera is built in the middle of a 25mm fiber sheet and it was conceived by MIT researchers. The fiber ...
