What defines you is how you react to disappointments.
It takes 47 muscles to frown,and 17 to smile.. It only takes 3 to end a life.. One shot, one kill.

I could see this being used down the road as a high end security camera. No more blind spots due to moving back and forth and no more distortion caused by fisheye domes for a 360 view.
Like any tech though, as I'm 100% sure you're more than well aware, it becomes more compressed and efficient, which results in a smaller form-factor.

Before you can truly understand someone else, you must first fully understand yourself.

It is technology. Its evolution will eventually make it smaller. Look at the old computers that took full rooms to run using vacuum tubes and such. Eventually we got the micro-chip.
Laser technology has also been slowly reducing in the size of the apparatus used to shoot them (albeit slowly).
As this tech develops I am sure it will be beneficial to many fields. I can see it being used in medicine eventually where we can get rid of x-rays and scopes.
Cool video, thanks for sharing.

Podunks said: Oh I know it will get there if it gets picked up, but there are so many parts to it, that I feel it will be 10+ years before it is even close to commercial ready.
That is very possible.
It's always cool to see really early tech but at the same time it kind of sucks since, in most cases, we won't see anything come of it for the better part of a decade.

I still can't imagine how they discovered stuff like photons and even how the camera works, I know it's explained and all that but when you start from the beginning it's just so unbelievable, guess it will take some more time 'till we discover something more how the world really works from the basics we can't even see.
Through all the differences it is still perfection.

Lucky for us we'll be long out of school when they start teaching this stuff.
I too wonder what this will evolve into, I was thinking it could become something inside cars that would automatically stop them in the event of someone peeking out of a corner.
Anything worth having is worth working hard for.
