$22,000 Matrix like camera array is self reconfigurable, creates 3D objects

Cameras are a big part of human life and there are many of them but nothing like this, the clever ones over at Carnegie Mellon setup this amazing matrix like rig for an amazing and what we call a low $22,000.

The are self-reconfigurable thanks to the cameras being mounted on linear guides, they can shoot 640 x 480 video at 30 fps plus their purported aims are “Image-based rendering which basically means they create 3D objects with little scene geometry info. The cameras have built-in HTTP servers, which respond to HTTP requests and can stream motion JPEG sequences.

The JPEG image quality is controllable plus the cameras are connected to the computer through 1Gbps Ethernet cables. For an in depth look into this please click on the AMP link below.
