Regardez, voici ce qu’il voit dans la nuit : L’image prise avec le gros capteur 300mm est à gauche. Elle est comparée à droite à une simulation de ce que votre cerveau perçoit avec 1 lux de luminosité. Il est principalement conçu pour avoir des applications en astronomie, mais ce n’est pas difficile d’imaginer qu’un jour cette technologie défiant la physique sera suffisamment compacte pour tenir dans un smartphone.
