In most cameras, there is a trade-off between the field-of-view and resolution. Omnidirectional cameras offer a 360-degree field of view but poor resolution. In a new study, researchers design a dual ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have designed a new compact camera that acquires wide-angle images of high-quality using an array of metalenses — flat nanopatterned surfaces used to manipulate light. By ...

and Virtual Reality (VR) devices up to 80° field-of-view (FOV). eye resolution. As the only such imaging system in the market, it uniquely enables AR/VR device makers to test optical performance at ...

Science fiction has been dangling the promise of holograms in front of us for decades, but like hoverboards and flying cars, the tech always feels just out of reach. Now Samsung has made a major ...

Wide-angle lenses for Nikon cameras (or any other brand, for that matter) are much more versatile than they get credit for. A wide angle is ideal for broad landscapes, night skies, group photos at ...

For a while, the 2-megapixel camera was the most pointless, least-liked addition to a new smartphone’s camera system — but it’s time to redirect our ire in a new direction. Our collective Paddington ...

Wide-field telescopes and eyepieces are best for viewing large nebulae. Dark skies and high altitudes improve visibility. Planning your observations, including target selection and timing, is crucial.

If you're a fan of spy movies, you've probably come across scenes where the intelligence agents try to identify or detect a perpetrator using some sophisticated image enhancement technology on ...

A wide-angle lens is more versatile than you may realize. Technically, wide-angle lenses allow you to fill the frame with more content than other lenses, but they also are tools to create dramatic ...

Researchers at Shibaura Institute of Technology develop hybrid camera enabling detailed 360° monitoring for target identification. SIT's dual-camera platform employs both an omnidirectional and a ...
