A new ultra-efficient 3D camera inspired by jumping spiders could reshape how drones, robots and wearables see.

Northwestern engineers have unveiled an energy-efficient camera called SpiderCam that estimates depth in the same way that ...

Take jumping spiders, for instance. The arachnids need very strong vision to avoid predators, hunt prey, and move around.

A new 3D camera inspired by jumping spiders' eyes may well be found in the next generation of battery-operated wearable tech, ...

Weijian Yang, right and graduate student Feng Tian developed a camera that uses a thin microlens array and new image processing algorithms to capture 3D information about multiple objects in single ...

PxE's new Holographic RGB-IR-Depth Camera technology can transform standard 2D cameras in smartphones, laptops, and cars into immersive, high-performance 3D cameras . The technology would enable ...

Observing a colony, swarm or similar grouping of creatures like ants or zebrafish over longer periods of time can be tricky. Simply recording their behavior with a camera misses a lot of information ...

Researchers have developed a camera that uses a thin microlens array and new image processing algorithms to capture 3D information about objects in a scene with a single exposure. The camera could be ...

Most 3D cameras estimate depth either by comparing images from multiple viewpoints or by projecting and measuring light—approaches that can require substantial computational power, expensive hardware, ...
