Popsci: A new video from the world's highest-resolution drone-mounted camera is mind-blowingly clear. And terrifying.
Curious as to how the Defense Department could be spying on you next? PBS checked in with DARPA about the latest in drone camera technology for the NOVA special "Rise of the Drones," including the world's highest-resolution camera.
Actually seeing the sensor on ARGUS-IS, or Autonomous Real-Time Ground Ubiquitous Surveillance Imaging System, is still classified, but the basics of how it works have been deemed fit for public consumption.
ARGUS-IS uses 368 imaging chips like those found in cell phone cameras, to stitch together a 1.8 billion pixel video. That means from 17,500 feet in the air, ARGUS-IS can see someone on the ground waving their arms. And it generates that kind of high-definition video for an area 15 square miles across. It can see a bird flying through a parking lot from more than three miles in the air.
The Nvidia Broadcast app attempts to mimic eye contact with the camera. Nvidia has updated its video conferencing software, making it the newest business to address the issue of maintaining eye contact during video conferences.
Daily Video Game writes: "If you’re planning on getting a new mirrorless camera, the online Amazon is running a new sale that offers up to 42% off on Sony Alpha mirrorless cameras right now!"
Ming-Chi Kuo has posted a tweet giving updates about iPhone 14 production. He has currently informed on another snag in the supply chain.
