A Camera With 158 Lenses

By John Farrier in Gadgets, Hacks & Mods on Dec 14, 2009 at 8:56 am

This camera, made by the Nagoya Institute of Technology, has 158 lenses — more than any other camera in the world, according to Guinness World Records. It was made by associate professor Yojiro Ishino and his students in order to take 3D pictures of a flame. The lenses are arranged in four rows, and the entire rig is 47 centimeters across.

    The camera itself doesnt seem all that interesting. I want to see the images that it produces

    Useless article. So, does it have 158 sensors, or just a few? Maybe it uses film (remember that?). Meh.

    Most Lenses… Really
    I guess the “Guiness Book of World Records” was un-aware of Dayton Taylor’s “Timetrack” Cameras (design and built by friend’s of mine) that have up to 160 lenses (or more – many configurations are available)… see:
    http://www.timetrack.com/timetrackcameras.html

    This camera system is the one used in films like the Matrix… and most every commercial with “that effect”…

    It is the real “Shizzle”
