OP is a solid fella. Cropped the image but moved the artists so is still visible after the crop.
We have come full circle!
You know, one sensor with a rotating lens selector might actually make sense?
I’ve been dreaming of that for like 10 years but nah, we only get many shitty sensors instead.
More moving parts prone to failure, I would guess
Jokes aside, camera arrays are actually an excellent way to improve image capture while maintaining a small form factor. There’s a reason many bugs have many eyes. It’s more reliant of software to resolve the image, but it allows more information to come in without increasing the lens size.
Yeah, but you gotta guess which camera your finger is covering…
That’s the great part, you actually dont. The image can be resolved with the data available from the others.
My phone has 2 rear cameras, ignoring the selfie camera. I definitely know which camera is which. One is for images, the other is for LIDAR.
I’m talking about camera arrays, like the one in the comic. Do you see the picture above these comments? That’s the context. The context of our current conversation.
If you want to have a conversation about your personal phone, maybe take a picture of it and see if anyone wants to talk about it, but honestly I think folks would just think that’s strange.
The question is which camera does what?
Am I the only one that bothered researching my own device?
They capture data. All of them.
Except the ones you (or whatever qualified tech) disconnects.
Bugs don’t have much “software” going on, and the reason for many lenses is only superficially similar. On phones you want different lenses to do different things, while the bug has different lenses to look into different directions without all the volume “between” eyes also needing to be lens (I think).
Unfortunately brains are computers I’m sorry. It’s not exactly software but it is a computation. Many insects have compound eyes that allow them see in many directions. Compound eyes are collections of eye that form one large eye. This does not indicate directly that they do this to prevent the space between the eye from also being an eye. Having many eyes from different perspectives can be useful for many reasons. A big one being depth perception.
And like modern reproductions of cassette players, I would expect this to be way shittier than the originals
putting an extra camera increased sales?
why lets add all the cameras then for infinite sales!
Just cover the whole phone in cameras. Or maybe if instead of adding more cameras, you could just put one really big camera on the phone.
In fact, get rid of all the other features so that there’s just a teeny tiny screen to see what your photo looks like and a button to take a photo, leaving more space either for one giant camera or tens of small cameras.
i think we should add a couple of folds for good measure
Sounds like you need the Quintippio shaver!
This is funky funny

I had that phone where the selfie camera extended out of the top whenever you wanted to use it. It reminded me of flipup headlights. Best phone I ever had.
@QuentinCallaghan ahahah
