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 'computing camera πολλαπλών διαφραγμάτων» που διαθέτει ούτε λίγο ούτε πολύ, 16 φακούς. Οι φακοί αυτοί συλλαμβάνουν ταυτόχρονα μια και μοναδική εικόνα αλλά με διαφορετικά εστιακά μήκη. Μετέπειτα η φωτογραφική μηχανή συνδυάζει τις ξεχωριστές αυτές pictures in a photo of 52-megapixel making sure the whole 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 in the background there is a mountain, then all objects, from the nearby flower to the distant mountain will be clearly visible 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 is looking to bring this idea to a mobile phone. According to the newspaper, the Light company presented several prototype ideas mobile of phones that had between five and nine lenses built into 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 a smartphone with a multi-lens design in 2018. But we are curious to see the cost of such a device since as you can see from it by clicking here the company's $2.050 price tag for the L16 certainly isn't cheap.
