ScienceDaily (May 11, 2010) � It's no pun: we are truly entering a new
dimension in technology with the 3-D digital camera developed by the
researchers of Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) in Trento.

Virtual reality, security and surveillance, monitoring of the homes of
the elderly, videogames. These are just some of the possible
application of the patented prototype to be presented for the first
time ever tomorrow in Eindhoven (The Netherlands), on the occasion of
the scientific conference regarding the European project Netcarity.

Designed by David Stoppa and his colleagues at the SOI (integrated
optical sensors) Research Unit of Fondazione Bruno Kessler, the new
technology also represents a new record for Italian research: the
physical dimensions of the reading cell that captures the light on the
camera's sensor has the smallest pixel currently in existence in this
field (10 ?m, i.e. ten millionths of a metre, approximately one tenth
the size of a human hair) which provides the prototype with the
capacity to capture images with the largest quantity of details
possible

No offense, but the Stereo Realist did this all in the 1950s and did it
on Kodachrome, which has/had far more pixels than any digital device.

I liked the part where it said
"sophisticated micro-sensor known as "CMOS""

no offense, but kodachrome doesn't have any pixels at all nor does the
stereo realist work the same way.

No, it's got grain particles which produces artifically-large scanned
files that give the illusion of more "information." However, like all
35mm film, its actual resolution is that of a 7-8 megapixel sensor.
