Dr. Shree Nayar, Director of Columbia University’s Computer Vision Lab, studies the science behind photography. “Wouldn’t it be nice if we had cameras we can wrap around things?” he wondered one day.

In the world of tomorrow, every surface will be a camera. Or at least, it seems that way. Researchers from the Computer Vision Lab at Columbia University have developed what they describe as a ...

Soon you can drop the pricey and bulky camera rigs used to capture 360 degree videos. Scientists have created a very thin material that works like how your usual camera works, but even better. A ...

Many modern cameras ship with an assisted panorama mode, and affordable consumer-grade software will automatically stitch photos together at the push of a button. These techniques lead to some really ...

A new bending camera captures images on a flexible sheet. The innovative technique suggests a future of cameras as thin as paper and as pliable as cloth. To get to a viable “flexible camera” concept, ...

If you want to take a 360-degree photograph, you either need a complex and bulky camera rig to do it, or deal with the blurry stitching that often appears in 3D images taken in pieces by smartphones.

Researchers have developed a sheet camera with a flexible lens array which could be wrapped around everyday objects, turning them into cameras. The project, which uses elastic optics, could also see ...

A new camera that looks like a flat sheet of paper is so thin and flexible that it could be wrapped around everyday objects, such as desks, cars, streetlights and even clothing, new research shows.

Taking panoramic photos was once a time consuming process of carefully snapping a series of shots and then manually stitching them back together in Photoshop. Today it’s as easy as just panning across ...

After buying a nice camera, it doesn’t take long to amass a mountain of “necessary” accessories to help you get the perfect shot. The Conda Strap is a clever alternative to a heavy backpack full of ...

Researchers have developed a novel sheet camera that can be wrapped around everyday objects to capture images that cannot be taken with one or more conventional cameras. They designed and fabricated a ...
