Holography is about capturing 3D data from a scene, and being able to reconstruct that scene — preferably in high fidelity. Holography is not a new idea, but engaging in it is not exactly a ...

Researchers in China have developed a new type of adaptive liquid lens that changes its focal distance when a voltage is applied. Made using a new electrically responsive fluid, the lens is small, ...

Using two immiscible fluids, each with a different refractive index, the liquid lens FluidFocus technology from Philips (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) can create unique variable-focus lenses of high ...

Researchers are developing lenses that can alter their focal length in response to changes in their environment. Hongrui Jiang and Liang Dong provide an insight into the field. If you wear glasses and ...

PARIS — Production of variable focus liquid lenses for zoom-enable camera phones is ramping up in Creative Sensor’s manufacturing site in Wuxi, China, according to Varioptic SA. Varioptic (Lyon, ...

Following a recent cash injection of €2 m, French start-up Varioptic is building a pilot line capable of producing tens of thousands of liquid lenses with a tunable focal length. Michael Hatcher ...

French manufacturer Varioptic SA is expected to use the 3GSM World Congress next week to show a liquid lens that is capable of zooming. “After showing a proof of concept at the Cebit trade show last ...
