Ever wondered what light looks like in slow motion? A few seconds of video of a light impulse traveling through a coke bottle full of water would take one year to watch a bullet making the same journey. That's pretty freakin' cool. They're talking about a camera so fast it can see through your body...in between the spaces in your atoms.

Sorry, I can't handle 11 minutes of that accent. I get enough of that at the gas station. I consider myself fairly intelligent. I'm man enough to admit that this man would have to try to speak to me as I do a kindergartener so that I could understand what he's discussing. |

They're talking about a camera so fast it can see through your body...in between the spaces in your atoms. godammit. I was trolled, it's a TED talk. aka "we have done zero engineering on this subject, have no feasible way of making it work, but give me money anyways" CG representations of a theory dont interest me. fucking TED. Or in this case, "we in no way, shape, or form have anything that can take pictures anywhere near fempto speeds. But here's some CG and conjecture from interpolated data we used by capturing frames orders of fucking magnitude slower that what is being represented... but we did thousands and thousands of runs and just prune shit out." God do I hate TED talks. |

They're gonna use it for the money shot A money shot would take many years to watch. Probably longer than a lifetime. he said a regular bullet going through the bottle would take a year to watch, so yeah watching a money shot would take like a 100 years |

God do I hate TED talks. Did you watch the vid? Did you go to the sight and read about the REAL camera? Where did you get that it's CGI? I understood it just fine. It's interpolated dated pruned from from thousands and thousands of runs. It is NOT capturing an event in real time at fempto speeds. He damn well says that. Every video from the "behind the wall" series of videos was CG, he even stated as much. However the overall presentation was that this was a camera that could capture a trillion frames a second and that there would be technologies just around the corner that would result from this. Typical TED bullshit. What they are showing was pruning of literally thousands of hours of frame grabs from the experiment being run thousands of time. HE DIRECTLY SAID THIS IN THE VIDEO. |

It's not real in that there exists any type of technology that can capture information that quickly. 
The very first thing he says, ITS A VIRTUAL CAMERA. |

Is that how it's done? The laser pulse and the camera are slighty out of synch, so you get the effect of slow motion. Same effect as a strobe on your turn table's marks to see them in slow motion? (Yep, showing my age with the turn table tech) |

It's not CGI, though, it's a composite image. Two VERY different things. It's amazing, whether you like to admit it or not. ETA: From the project's website: The new technique, which we call Femto Photography, consists of femtosecond laser illumination, picosecond-accurate detectors and mathematical reconstruction techniques. Our light source is a Titanium Sapphire laser that emits pulses at regular intervals every ~13 nanoseconds. These pulses illuminate the scene, and also trigger our picosecond accurate streak tube which captures the light returned from the scene. The streak camera has a reasonable field of view in horizontal direction but very narrow (roughly equivalent to one scan line) in vertical dimension. At every recording, we can only record a '1D movie' of this narrow field of view. In the movie, we record roughly 480 frames and each frame has a roughly 1.71 picosecond exposure time. Through a system of mirrors, we orient the view of the camera towards different parts of the object and capture a movie for each view. We maintain a fixed delay between the laser pulse and our movie starttime. Finally, our algorithm uses this captured data to compose a single 2D movie of roughly 480 frames each with an effective exposure time of 1.71 picoseconds.

It's not CGI, though, it's a composite image. Two VERY different things. It's amazing, whether you like to admit it or not. Lord... That what I said. The first two were composite videos, like I said and he said in the video. The behind the wall stuff was CG, like I said and he said. Watch the video, goto MIT's website and see how it works. It's massive data collection from thousands and thousands of trials with imbeded timing information which lets them prune it down to watch as simulated femto capture rates. My problem/issue with this, as clearly stated in my first post; TED talks are simply misrepresented horseshit to get funding. If he would have represented the data for what it actually was, I would have zero issues. But that clearly wasnt the case. He danced around the fact that they are not capturing in real time, then followed it up with "oh yeah, youll be able to use this in your cell phones and cars" crock of shit. Thats essential all that TED talks are. |

(Yep, showing my age with the turn table tech) Sort of. The thing can detect an image at a trillion frames per second, but the image is one dimensional. You have to repeat the experiment a large number of times to build up the slices and get a two dimensional image. This has interesting research implications, but it's not going to be something you can video your kids' soccer game with. |

It's deceiving, dishonest, and almost always a misrepresentation. However this technology IS very cool. Thank you for posting the link as I did find the tech behind it very interesting. |
