Photography at a Trillion Frames Per Second


 
 31 Jul 2012   Educational, Photography, Technology, Video, Youtube

Ramesh Raskar presents femto-photography in this TED talk, a new type of technology that is capable of taking a trillion frames per second. This type of technology would not only allow cameras to be built that could “see” around corners, but also show the speed of light…in slow motion.

And seeing inside the human body without x-rays? Yeah, it could possibly do that too.

    This camera might actually have the power to capture me giving a fuck…
    …but I doubt it.

    I’ll just hold on to some kind of R.L. Stine belief that this is just capturing ghosts.

    Sure, if you can spare 200 petabytes.
