The first camera to shoot the three-dimensional 360-degree size of a golf ball

Researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in the city of Lausanne to the industry's first camera in the world to the three-dimensional photography and taking pictures at an angle 360 degrees.
And repair applications, the new camera in several different areas, including video-conference from a distance, and control purposes and cinematography and photography, and installation of three-dimensional backgrounds for computer games, as well as the camera to record and transfer the images from all angles at once.
Equivalent to the camera in a ball the size of orange and a 100-lens such as lenses used in mobile phones and compact dimensions Mtlasq are equal, and pick up lenses scene at the same time without recording a time lag even during the transfer to the digital processor to extract before the final image.
The Institute's experimental model that was able to successful industry is in the size of a golf game that includes 15 lens Pick allows the user to control the operation of all at one time or some of them at different angles.
It is noteworthy that the Swiss National Science funded this project since its inception in 2009 around 470 thousand dollars, while the Institute registration patented camera to keep the global intellectual property rights.
