Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland are working on a Panoptic Camera project. Each imager in the spherical device has a distinct focal point, which allows it to capture information about the scene simultaneously from different imagers with overlapping fields of view. This information can be processed for various applications such as estimating the depth of the scene in all directions around the camera. Watch a video on YouTube and find out more at EPFL.ch.
