Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the can-you-see-me-now dept.

Clarinase writes "101reviews is running an article about a new type of camera lens called Fluidlens. This patented lens made of liquid is no bigger than a contact lens, but can still achieve up to 10 times optical zoom by changing its shape similar to the human eye."

    So can you distract a party by yelling, "Nobody move! I've dropped my camera lens."

    You're not squeezing hard enough. I can see the individual molecules (they're very colorful!) moving around when I squeeze my eyes hard enough for long enough...

    You have to make that "dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit" noise for it to work.

    I didn't read the article, but what if it isn't water? Different liquids freeze at different temperatures so maybe they're using vodka. That's one liquid I know doesn't freeze at 32 degrees.

    Or does the water get it instead?

    Nobody knows. Liquid lens.
