So some folks over at Standford University (they seem to be a pretty smart bunch) have developed what appears to be a camera that does HDR (High Dynamic Range) photos all on it's own. In a typical HDR photo, one would take 3 or more images of varying exposures an combine them using Photoshop© or Photomatix Pro© to make one evenly exposed shot. Well, this camera would take several shots and combine them "in house". Pretty cool.
The extra odd ball thing in this is that the designers used a Linux based software and plan to keep it open source so that any developer can add features to it (think iPhone apps).
You can check out the NPR interview here.
And the YouTube video here.
Whaddya think?
