Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology developed an ultrathin camera inspired by the structure of compound insect eyes. Measuring at a thickness of 740 micrometers, this tiny camera could potentially be used in mobile, surveillance, or medical applications. The lenses of this camera have a large degree of freedom, allowing for very effective high contrast, high resolution imaging. This type of array image capture is not commonly done, and this camera’s development could potentially change the landscape of commercially available cameras for a variety of uses.
