A team of researchers at MIT have created a new AI algorithm that can help cameras “see” off-camera things using only moving shadows. In a paper titled “Computational Mirrors: Blind Inverse Light Transport by Deep Matrix Factorization,” the scientists at MIT’s CSAIL share how they pointed a camera at a pile of objects and then […]

While imaging companies rarely use CES as a platform to launch new consumer cameras and lenses anymore, the major electronics tradeshow remains a great place for camera makers to show off interesting technology.
Most of us are accustomed to discussing sizes and resolutions when it comes to the camera models that we're familiar with. Those of us who are a bit more tech-savvy know of back-illuminated sensors.
Hologram hardware and software company Looking Glass, known for its spatial displays, announced new iOS support via Unity integration, enabling users to run real-time 3D media using just an iPhone or iPad, rather than super-powerful dedicated computers. [Read More]
Engineer, builder, and YouTube creator Shane Wighton, known for the YouTube channel Stuff Made Here, has tackled a lot of fascinating engineering questions over the years.
Pancake lenses aren’t new, but they’re usually restricted to focal lengths between 24 and 40mm. At least I’ve only seen them in or around these focal ranges. I’m referring to lenses that are considered smaller and more compact (in the full frame genre) than lenses of other focal ranges. Any semi-decent lens is at least …
