Collaborate Disseminate
Plenty of folk these days buy cameras with the intention of pointing them mainly at themselves, and Sony has put together a neat little compact that’s laser-focused on content creators who want beautiful video with zero learning curve.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Sony unveils its attempt at the ultimate no-learning-curve vlog camera
The best phone cameras can record slow motion with under 1,000 frames per second. Commercial rigs generally shoot with several thousand. But that all absolutely pales in comparison to the new record holder for the world’s fastest camera, boasting a mind-boggling rate of 70 trillion frames per second. That’s fast enough to capture light waves in movement.

Researchers have demonstrated a new depth-sensing 3D camera that can detect single photons of light at megapixel resolution and 24,000 frames per second, both record highs. Its incredible capabilities could power next-generation vision systems for auto… Continue reading Huge advance as photon-sensing 3D camera crosses the megapixel mark
Obstacle avoidance is a crucial piece of technology for drones, but commercially-available systems just aren’t fast enough for some situations. Now, engineers at the University of Zurich have developed a new system that gives drones such fast reflexes … Continue reading Drone plays dodgeball to demo fast new obstacle detection system
Communities across the United States are starting to ban facial recognition technologies. In May of last year, San Francisco banned facial recognition; the neighboring city of Oakland soon followed, as did Somerville and Brookline in Massachusetts (a s… Continue reading Modern Mass Surveillance: Identify, Correlate, Discriminate
Communities across the United States are starting to ban facial recognition technologies. In May of last year, San Francisco banned facial recognition; the neighboring city of Oakland soon followed, as did Somerville and Brookline in Massachusetts (a statewide ban may follow). In December, San Diego suspended a facial recognition program in advance of a new statewide law, which declared it… Continue reading Modern Mass Surveillance: Identify, Correlate, Discriminate

Cameras are getting less and less conspicuous. Now they’re hiding under the skin of robots.
A team of researchers from ETH Zurich in Switzerland have recently created a multi-camera optical tactile sensor that is able to monitor the space around it based on contact force distribution. The sensor uses a …read more
