Worlds Smallest 3CCD HD camera from Toshiba
Toshiba will be showing their tiny HD camera (which is slightly larger than a sugar cube) at NAB Show later this month. The IK-HD1 is perfect for Scientific imaging /diagnostics, Specialty broadcast, Homeland security and Industrial video / inspection applications but we’re sure this technoogy will trickle down to consumer cameras before too long. Tosh even notes that its ability to capture at 1,920 x 1,080 at 30fps makes it “highly suitable for reality TV.

Wireless Sensor Images in 3D
This 3D sensor helps compose a 3D model, simply by projecting a stripe pattern onto the subject, using the couple of “eyes” to capture slightly distinct angles of the image based on the deducted geometry.
“It consists of two cameras with a projector in the center,” said IOF Optical Systems department head Gunther Notni, PhD. “The two cameras provide a three-dimensional view, rather like two eyes. The projector casts a pattern of stripes on the objects. The geometry of the measured object can be deduced from the deformation of the stripes.”

New iPhone Box Camera - iHole
Wondering what to do with your iPhone box? Why not create a box camera! Scot Hampton has just the thing. Behold the iHole, a pinhole camera created out of his roommate’s iPhone box. Using nothing more than the iPhone’s packaging, some tape, tinfoil (for the lens), a piece of foam, and a leftover screw and tightener from an old Ikea desk, Scot has created a low tech camera from the world’s most high tech device.
I tried to keep it simple and the only external items I used were tape, tinfoil (for the lens), a piece of foam, and a leftover screw and tightener from an old ikea desk. Oh, I also used a black washer for the cover of the lens but that was purely cosmetic. I used the cardboard lining that was on the inside of the original box to construct the film holders on the back. I even left the serial numbers intact, so if my roommate ever needed to return it he could (I don’t think I’ll be switching until the phones work on other networks). For the lens I used a small piece of tinfoil (the thicker stuff from the hardware store) punctured by a tiny needle. For feeding the film through the box, I cut two long, thin rectangles about 2mm wide on the left and right bottom (interior) box. I had some trouble at first with the tension, as I had to thread the film through backwards so the emulsion of the film would be facing the right way. On the right side, I punched a hole through the top and put the screw through the piece of film and then through the film holder. Once I threaded the film, I twisted the screw into an empty 120 film holder until it was secure. Then I loaded the film, threaded it through and taped both sides of the film holders shut and closed the box.
