HOW IT WORKS



Traditional cameras rely on an imaging lens which typically consists of several lens elements and a light sensitive sensor, to capture an image. Cameras have been built like this since 1816. Glass has been historically used to make high quality optical elements. We are replacing these elements with Deep Neural Networks that give extreme flexibility when designing our cameras. It allows us to squeeze a huge sensor into an ultra thin module that fits perfectly into a mobile device without the need for protruding bumps. Our cameras bring SLR image quality into your pocket.



The ingredients





HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE - CO-DESIGNED


Our AI enables new Hardware. Modern embedded chips are equipped with Neural Engines and amazing horsepower. We leverage those abilities to enable new types of optics that remove some fundamental constraints from camera design.



REVOLUTIONARY OPTICS



CMOS IMAGE SENSOR



NEURAL NETWORKS



"THE BEST CAMERA IS THE ONE YOU HAVE WITH YOU"



Computational photography has stretched the limits of traditional mobile camera hardware. Professional cameras still produce better images because they are not limited to the small sensors and constrained optics that smartphones are. Our technology combines the best of both, enabling SLR quality in a smartphone.



OPTICAL BOKEH



Large optical aperture creates natural Optical Bokeh eliminating the need for artificial background blurring and delivers stunning cinematic looks



MORE LIGHT



A camera's ability to collect light depends on the size of the optical aperture. Our lenses collect 7x more light compared to smartphone lenses and project it onto a CMOS sensor that is 9x larger in size



MORE RESOLUTION



Our cameras can accommodate an SLR size sensor which enables ultra high resolution photography without compromising pixel size



EXTREME DYNAMIC RANGE



The ability of a pixel to capture dark and bright signals depends on it's size. Using large pixels allows for extreme Dynamic Range brining out natural accurate colors and tones
