Gigapan robot snaps panoramic views, assembles results
[TightReviews.com] The robotic shooting platform was developed by Carnegie Mellon University and the NASA Ames Intelligent Robot Group, and can manhandle almost any digital camera in order to capture a wide-angle view of any particular scene without the breaks we humans often inject. The robot will click away depending on a timer and the number of snapshots that users program in, resulting in a very high resolution, widescreen image of a crime scene, vacation overlook, or your entire basement wall of Transformers posters.

Camera Lens Diet: 85% Less Fat, More Flexibility
[OhGizmo!] Researchers at the University of California San Diego have origami-ized a typical 35mm camera lens down to 5mm by getting light to bounce around folds inside a focusing crystal, instead of passing straight through as with conventional camera optics. Changing the number of reflective surfaces and the distance between them lets the lens zoom and focus.

Polaroids CGA-02540 provides ClickFree backup for photos
[Teaoodle] Designed for those who basically have a self-induced BSOD whenever they touch a mouse or keyboard, this 2.5-inch 40GB backup drive is programmed to work specifically (read: only) with photo files, and requires absolutely zero clicks to sniff around one's HDD, locate newly uploaded files, and backup only the latest pictures while leaving the originals in tact and in place. The ClickFree unit is so simple, in fact, that there's not even a single button on the enclosure, and if your PC sports a powered USB port, you won't even need to figure out how to utilize an AC adapter.

[Krunker | Technology Around the World] Nonetheless, shooting video is what the Panasonic SDR-S150 is really all about. Its MPEG-2 compressed files may not rival the quality of cheaper models that record to MiniDV tape, but the SDR-S150’s three-chip sensor captures better-looking footage than many DVD camcorders.
