A KAIST team led by Professor Ki-Hun Jeong developed an ultrathin digital camera inspired by the eyes of Xenos peckii. The report describes a structure combining microprisms and microlenses while reducing optical interference between channels.
Reconstructing images from individual channels provides a wider field of view and higher resolution. The researchers anticipated applications in endoscopes and wearable devices following further research.
