Jokes aside, camera arrays are actually an excellent way to improve image capture while maintaining a small form factor. There’s a reason many bugs have many eyes. It’s more reliant of software to resolve the image, but it allows more information to come in without increasing the lens size.
Yeah, but you gotta guess which camera your finger is covering…
That’s the great part, you actually dont. The image can be resolved with the data available from the others.
My phone has 2 rear cameras, ignoring the selfie camera. I definitely know which camera is which. One is for images, the other is for LIDAR.
I’m talking about camera arrays, like the one in the comic. Do you see the picture above these comments? That’s the context. The context of our current conversation.
If you want to have a conversation about your personal phone, maybe take a picture of it and see if anyone wants to talk about it, but honestly I think folks would just think that’s strange.
The question is which camera does what?
Am I the only one that bothered researching my own device?
They capture data. All of them.
Except the ones you (or whatever qualified tech) disconnects.
OP is a solid fella. Cropped the image but moved the artists so is still visible after the crop.
