Creative Cameras exhibit explores light-in-flight imaging
The Creative Cameras exhibition team from Heriot-Watt University and the University of Glasgow are asking some interesting questions. How do you take images so fast that you can see light travelling through air? How do you take pictures without using a camera? And how do you use technology to look around corners and see objects that otherwise would be hidden from view? Those are questions that researchers from Heriot-Watts University and the University of Glasgow are placing under investigation as they explore new imaging strategies. Their Creative Cameras exhibit is taking place at the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition from July 1 to 6. Dr. Jonathan Leach, lecturer, Heriot-Watt School of Engineering and Physical Sciences; Photonics and Quantum Sciences, explained the team's work on a camera that can film at the speed of light, allowing them to video pulses of light as they travel through air.
