New MIT Camera Takes 3D Photos in the Dark

Posted by Unknown on from the point-clouds-in-the-dark dept.

smf28 writes "In a recent research paper published in Science, a team of researchers at MIT describe a new imaging technique that produces three-dimensional photos with only a single photon per pixel, using essentially one-hundredth the light of the best existing imaging technologies. The researchers say the technology could have a wide variety of low-light imaging applications from military to biological use."

    Doesn't matter, you WILL step on the Lego.

    I can do that with a regular 3D camera. True, the results are all black, but it's 3D blackness, just like real life in a dark room.

    There is the alternative explanation that you're just stupid and pedantic. Like me.

    Is that what you call dark humor?
