Ultra thin telephoto lens for cam phones possible

You ever wish that your camera phone could take crisper and more detailed images? Of course there are camera phones who could already do that, but their price tag is something that might put a dent in your pockets. So it’s a good thing that engineers at the University of California San Diego is developing a new lens that could improve cam phone pics.

They already created an ultra thin camera. How did they do that? They dabbled on a little origami to fold the telephoto lens which resulted to an imager seven times more powerful than a standard lens. In layman’s term – cameras can now be much thinner and more powerful all the same time.

Hopefully, this would make its way on future mobile phones.
