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 one and only one picture but with different focal lengths. The camera then combines these separate images into one 52-megapixel photo, making sure all the landscape and all the depth of the photo are in focus. That is, if you imagine a photo with a flower in the foreground and a mountain in the background, then all the 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 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 devicesince as you can see from the by clicking here the company's $2.050 price tag for the L16 certainly isn't cheap.
