Photographic technology with light lenses, Light, seems to be coming soon on our mobile phones.
Two years ago, Light company launched it L16 camera, a “multi-aperture computing camera” that has no less than 16 lenses. These lenses simultaneously capture a single image but with different focal lengths. Then the camera machine combines these separate images into one 52-megapixel making sure all the landscape and all the depth of the photo is properly focused. That is, if you imagine a photo with a flower in the foreground and a mountain in the background, then everything objects, from the nearby flower to the distant mountain will appear crystal clear in the photo.
As a photo technique, it is possible to focus in depth with a single simple lens, but it requires a very bright day and a fine shot, that is fast film.
Η Washington Post reports that Light company seeks to bring this idea to a mobile phone. According to the newspaper, Light has introduced several concepts of original mobile phones that had between five and nine lenses embedded on their backs.
And the company claims its design can take 64-megapixel photos, can take better photos in low light and offer advanced depth effects. Light says it intends to announce the construction of one in 2018 smartphone with multi-lens design. But we are curious to see the cost of such a device since as you can see from the webσελίδα the company's $2.050 price tag for the L16 certainly isn't cheap.
