Here is some really interesting new “lens less” imaging technology being devloped by hitatchi. I write “lens less” in quotes since there is a concentric element laid over the sensor but its flat and takes little space. The device relies on the advanced computational power that is in modern smart technology to calculate the image but offers some cool features such as depth information and selectible focus point.
