What Would You Do With 50 Gigapixels?
Recently, some of the engineering crew from Duke University with the assistance of scientists from the University of Arizona, University of California – San Diego, and Distant Focus Corp decided to slap together 98 minuscule cameras, each with a 14-megapixel sensor and capture an image with all of them through a single lens.
They called they’re contraption the AWARE 2 camera system. Although the idea of a gigapixel camera has been around for a bit, it’s still pretty crazy to see what the results of 50 of them can do.
