As shared in the above video, the idea came about when Carvalho noticed the camera was beginning to fall apart on his shelf. With the camera already in…
NVIDIA’s Instant NeRF is a neural rendering model that can produce a 3D scene from 2D data inputs in seconds and can render images of that scene in milliseconds.
The process is known as inverse rendering and allows AI to approximate how light behaves in the real…

Optics manufacturer Samyang has announced the release of the AF 35mm F1.4 FE II, a second-generation autofocus prime for Sony E-mount camera systems.
The updated lens features a new optical construction that consists of 11 elements in nine groups, including two aspherical elements and two high-refractive index elements. Autofocus is driven via Samyang’s Linear Stepping Motor (STM), which Samyang…
Snap Inc., the company behind Snapchat, has purchased brain-computer interface startup NextMind whose technology could be used to directly control augmented reality (AR) tools just with thought, like the Spectacles or forthcoming camera drone.
NextMind is a…
The Hubble Space Telescope recently celebrated its 20th year using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), which was installed on Hubble in March of 2002 and became its most used camera.
The ACS wavelength range extends from the ultraviolet, through the visible…
