3-D camera with 12,616 lenses developed by Stanford researchers
Stanford electronics researchers, lead by electrical engineering Professor Abbas El Gamal, are developing such a camera that makes a 2-D photo with an electronic "depth map" containing the distance from the camera to every object in the picture, a kind of super 3-D.
They built it around their "multi-aperture image sensor." They've shrunk the pixels on the sensor to 0.7 microns, several times smaller than pixels in standard digital cameras, and have grouped the pixels in arrays of 256 pixels each, and they're preparing to place a tiny lens atop each array.
