A gigipixel digital camera, using a glass sphere to gather light instead of a lens. Built by Columbia University’s Vision Laboratory, via the New York Times.
iPhone View Camera
Dark Survey Camera
Sensor array at the Dark Survey Camera (video), part of the Blanco Telescope in Chile (via Wired).
Real 9px Images
More early 9px camera results, this time “real” data (ie: not random analog fluctuations but actual sensor readings) through an old 35mm SLR lens.
Early 9px Tests
Some early tests for an experimental digital camera: light sensors > Arduino > saved as BMP files on an SD card/displayed in real-time on an array of LEDs.
Refined Webcam View Camera
With a new, sandblasted piece of plexi (instead of hand-sanded), more images from what I am now calling the Webcam View Camera (35mm lens projecting onto a piece of ground plexi, picked up by a cheap webcam, captured by screen-grab).
