peter_daalder Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 An interesting article indeed.<br> It made me go back and have another look at the original concept behind the so-called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_time#Technology"> Bullet Time </a> and <a href="http://www.fxguide.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=323"> subsequent applications </a> of this particular photographic technique.<br> I was just wondering if these innovations from around 1999 may be part of the foundation for certain segments in the science news article...

joseph_wisniewski Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Yes Peter, those technologies have been around a long time and are the foundation of that "fluff piece" article. The array of lenses they talk about has been around at least since John Wang and Ed Adelson of MIT published it in 1991, and they gave it the name "plenoptic camera" in 1992. You'll also hear the term "light field camera". We could do "bullet time" in the VR dome I built at Ford (32 Canon D30 DSLRs, back when DSLRs were rare indeed). HDR (high dynamic range) multiple exposures at different exposure levels has been around for a long time. I remember the program HDRShop from USC back about 10 years ago, along with other "relighting" experiments, and "shiny ball photography" at least 15 years ago.
