Canon EOS 6D Review: Beautiful Full-Frame Stills, Crummy Full-Frame Video
The full-frame sensor, usually reserved for only top-of-the-line DSLR cameras, represents the finest standard of DSLR picture-grabbin’. It doesn’t come cheap. But Canon fit a full-frame sensor into its new 6D — and offered camera buyers a pro-level detail at a price tag we’ve never seen before. Does it make the 6D worth buying?
MIT Team Developing Eye-Catching, Super Realistic 6-D Imaging Device
3-D images? Peshaw. Those are so 2007. What humanity needs now is what MIT researchers hope to provide very soon: super realistic “passive 6-D reflectance field displays” that not only look great, but also respond to stimuli, like lighting conditions. And, not only will these uber images do all that and a bag of chips, they’ll be able to change over time as lighting conditions change, with “no electronics or active control” from we mere humans. Oh, and the displays will respond the changes in viewpoint, meaning these visual wonders will have a creepy degree of interactivity to them too (read: legitimate holograms).
