Computational Photography at Stanford

Stanford computational photography researchers have built an open-source digital camera. Anyone will be able to create new features for the camera by writing aps that will control all the cameras functions -- focus, exposure, shutter speed, flash, etc. Cameras could be taught new tricks with downloadable apps, analogous to iPhone apps. No longer will camera owners be limited to the features installed by the manufacturer. Sky's the limit.
