synchronizing 98 tiny cameras in a single device

Megapixels don't matter as much as lens quality, tiny cameras == tiny lenses == tradeoffs.

The camera's resolution is five times better than 20/20 human vision over a 120 degree horizontal field.

A FOV of 120 degress = a 12mm focal length (on a full frame camera with a rectilinear lens).

So it's really wide, but that's what I would expect from something made from a bunch of cameras/lenses slapped together. They're essentially making a huge panorama across the X and Y axis. And probably only grabbing the sweet spots at the center of each camera/lens (vignetting and chromatic aberrations occur more frequently at the edges of lenses).

So although this is interesting, it's not much of an advancement. Tech wise, it's a no brainer. The concept is no different than a regular panaroma (shoot a bunch of images, stitch them together). They're just parallelizing the photo taking.

// The biggest panorama I've made was of 80 images. 80 * 8mp => 640 megapixels ... a little over half a gigapixel. And that's with one camera panning over the Y axis only. Another vertical row of 80 photos would have gotten me to 1.28 gigapixels.

// article is boring with specs on the cameras. How many megapixels per camera? Focal lengths of the lenses? Fstop range? etc?
