I finally found [again] information on the awesome new camera being prototyped at Stanford. It’s a camera which captures the entire light field inside the lense at one instant, rather than just capturing incident light on a receptor, as do existing cameras. Meaning, it records the direction of the light as well as it’s position.… Read more
I never seem to have too much trouble getting anywhere, but returning always seems to turn into a miniature disaster. The Lake Tahoe trip, for example. The flight back from California was no exception. Let’s recap… As I wrote earlier, I had to twice go into San Francisco Airport to work out the changes to… Read more
Well… sort of. I’ll start packing soon. :D Flight’s all organised, as is my lift to the airport, so hopefully it should go relatively painlessly.
