• Resumen

  • KaleidoCamera was developed by Alkhazur Manakov of Saarland University in Saarbrucken, Germany, and his colleagues. It attaches directly to the front of a normal digital SLR camera, and the camera's detachable lens is then fixed to the front of the KaleidoCamera. After light passes through the lens, it enters the KaleidoCamera, which splits it into nine image beams according to the angle at which the light arrives. This set-up allows users to have far more control over what type of light reaches the camera's sensor. With a slight tweak to its set-up, the prototype KaleidoCamera can capture this information, allowing photographers to refocus images after the photo has been taken.
