A new type of miniature camera system developed by engineers at the University of California, San Diego, promises to give users a big picture view without sacrificing high-resolution.
The new imager achieves the optical performance of a full-size wide-angle lens in a device less than one-10th of the volume of a regular lens.
It can image anything between half a meter and 500 meters away—a 1000x range of focus—and boasts the equivalent of 20/10 human vision—0.2-milliradian resolution.
