A new exper­i­men­tal cam­era cap­tures images by tak­ing many snaps with an array of micro-mirrors. The single-pixel cam­era devel­oped by researchers Richard Bara­niuk and Kevin Kelly at Rice Uni­ver­sity in Hous­ton, Texas, US, takes a com­pletely dif­fer­ent approach. It reflects light from 1024 x 768 micro-mirrors onto a sin­gle pho­to­di­ode. Then it changes the arrange­ment of micro-mirrors and repeats the process — all in a split second.
