Multiplex photography technology lenses, from the company Light, it seems that we will soon see it on our mobile phones.
Before two years, the company Light started the L16 camera, a "multi-diaphragm computing camera" that has no or little 16 lenses. These lenses capture at the same time a single image but with different focal lengths. Thereafter, the camera combines these distinctive images into a 52-megapixel photo taking care of the entire landscape and the depth of the photo to be 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 the objects, from the nearby flower to the distant mountain will look 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 the company Light seeks to bring this idea to a mobile phone. According to the paper, the Light company presented various prototype cell phone concepts 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.
