A tiny camera the size of a grain of salt

Small day is long. This is the miniaturization, the logical step of the technology that makes up little space we have technology imaginable a few years ago. Up to this point comes the camcorder that we present today. Its dimensions are of a cube of 1 mm, compared to a grain of salt. As I always say, put that away in your fingers and imagine what it would actually.

This is a project of the Fraunhofer Institute and its purpose is, of course, doctor. Obviously the resolution is not captured at the height of traditional cameras, staying at 0.05 megapixels provide photographs with little detail, but enough under certain circumstances. Regarding the usefulness of this microchamber in our homes no doubt that it would be totally useless, at least for now.

But the years will continue to happen and those 0.05 megapixel today may become in a few within a few years, making it an ideal camera and nearly invisible to security methods, for example. We are not surprised if we see the next time we go to the doctor. Via | GearLive.
