Optics - less Camera


https://www.sciencealert.com/this-camera-technology-doesn-t-have-a-lens-at-all-and-it-s-amazing

I have never imagined a camera without lens. And this article at The University of Utah says each window in a home could be turned into a security camera in the future. That sounds quite exciting but also would have consequences of its own regarding privacy. Imaging having to use a room with glass windows in your friend’ house to change clothes, if you are not fine with public nudity. Or it could just be a small 2 x 2-inch glass attached somewhere on the wall or the ceiling. This is not necessarily a new technology as there have been similar inventions before of cameras with no lens as I have found out. In the experiment, the camera sensor is attached to the side of and pointed into a Plexiglas window while a LED light board is placed in front of the pane at a 90-degree angle from the front of the sensor. After the camera sensor receives the image, an algorithm created to decode images detect the image using digital information.
