Bangalore: Technologies in Smartphones are emerging day by day. We have Smartphones with 41 megapixel cameras, embedded projectors and phones which can play videos in 3D format. But being able to take 3 dimensional pictures with a Smartphone seemed impossible till these Indian researchers- Kshitij Marwah and Ramesh Raskar- both from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), came out with a new impressive technology.

According to Economic Times, their invention, called the Light Field Camera technology, integrates features found in a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera into a Smartphone. Marwah, who is currently in Bangalore to introduce this technology to the R&D heads of the world's biggest mobile phone-makers, says: "We have developed a new camera design called Light Field Camera technology that can be fitted inside a cellphone camera to capture the bundle of light rays coming from the scene, giving users the ability to capture single-shot 3D photos."

The integration of DSLR technology allows users to produce 3D content to any platforms, including YouTube, just with their Smartphone. It also allows them to create more professional photos with added editing features such as post capture focusing.
