Microsoft Innovations 3D Camera for Smartphone

Microsoft reveals advanced smartphone camera technology. The company is developing the software giant camera with the ability to capture 3D images.

Reported from BGR, Friday (08/15/2014), Microsoft developed innovation by removing the infrared filter on the camera with a smartphone and put special filters that allow infrared light to pass through. In other words, companies replace a part that is designed to work otherwise.

Technology Review stated Microsoft did this because they wanted to use the reflective intensity of infrared light. The company also seems to do a cross between sonar signals and a torch in a dark room.

Thus, the light will bounce off the objects around it and back to the sensor with an appropriate intensity. Thus, this method allows them to determine exactly how close or far away an object is from the lens when the object photographed.

TechnologyReview page report, Sean Ryan Fanello, Cem Keskin, and Shahram Izadi from Microsoft Research to develop these innovations and expose it in the computer graphics and interaction conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. However, it is not known when the company will begin rolling out innovations that can be used on a commercial smartphone.
