Programmable digital camera takes shape at Stanford
stanford.edu

Interesting article on research funded by the likes Canon, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, and Kodak. Relevant to WIND in terms of the previously discussed relationship between sensors and ubiquitous computing. Some excerpts...

The project's focus is the development of innovative designs for the imaging sensor, the electronic chip that turns patterns of light into digital information. This initial "image capture" step is of primary importance to the entire digital imaging system, which has become big business in the last few years. According to a recent marketing study, revenue from digital imaging products - including cameras, camcorders, scanners and printers - was $1.5 billion last year and is projected to grow to $2.9 billion in 2001.

"The thing that excites me about this project," says Wandell, "is that it could lead to a future where cameras are everywhere, like pencils and notepads are today. Imagine giving your child a small camera, worn as a button on her shirt, so she can send or save images of her school day. Or imagine making computer-readable notes of important documents or business presentations by pointing and clicking a device the size of a penlight."
