	<title>MIT Develops Camera-Like Fabric</title>

	<htmltext>suraj.sun writes <i>"Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a fabric made of a mesh of light-sensitive fibers that collectively <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13580\_3-10281376-39.html">act like a rudimentary camera</a>. The fibers, which each can detect two frequencies of light, produced signals that when amplified and processed by a computer reproduced an image of a smiley face near the mesh. 'This is the first time that anybody has demonstrated that a single plane of fibers, or "fabric," can collect images just like a camera but without a lens,' said Yoel Fink, an associate professor of materials science, who along with colleagues <a href="http://pubs.acs.org/journal/nalefd">described the approach in a the journal Nano Letters</a>. MIT suggested that the technology, if developed further, could give a soldier a uniform that would help him see threats in all directions. Optical fiber webs, by distributing the chore across a large area, would be less susceptible to damage in one area."</i></htmltext>

Finally, if the cameras are placed at an intermediate spacing, then the system functions as a single camera with a large synthetic aperture, which allows us to see through partially occluding environments like foliage or crowds.
If we augment the array of cameras with an array of video projectors, we can implement a discrete approximation of confocal microscopy, in which objects not lying on a selected plane become both blurry and dark, effectively disappearing.
These techniques, which we explore in our CVPR and SIGGRAPH papers (listed below), have potential application in scientific imaging, remote sensing, underwater photography, surveillance, and cinematic special effects.

	<htmltext>okay or as a slightly more useful product (well okay, that's an opinion) they could make it sense a more modern set of colors like 16 bit at least and make projection screens out of it.  That would make it really easy to project reel to reel movies onto it and record it in realtime at a high resolution.  Then tada, you've got a digital version of an old movie.  Those giant, dark projection boxes are what they use these day. The picture is always little off though cuz of the keystone-ish effect of having to mount the camera somewhere above, below, or to the side of the projector.  Just take a look at the non-digitally altered version of The Wizard of Oz and you'll see what I mean.</htmltext>
