Will this Entanglement Experiment solve the Ultimate Question?
This is an interesting proposal to deal with the “watchers causing a change” phenomenon in quantum mechanics. Of course, answering this would answer the question of “free will”. Crazy! There’s a funny, and interesting youtube video on this called “Dr. Quantum”.

Will Pelican Imaging change photography forever?
I think this type of hyper-focal imaging tech will bring as yet unimagined possibilities into photography. Remember when the idea of a Digital SLR was ridiculous, because CCD’s didn’t have the dynamic range or resolution to compete with film? Next, consider how over time, each problem was addressed in a novel way: High Dynamic Range…

Growing up in a Maker World
Reading this article about Brook Drumm, fellow Lincolnite and 3-D printing champion, brought to mind my journey of building, and breaking, everything I could get my hands on. I remember many years back when I was 10 years old, I had a friend at my house, along with some family. I was proudly showing off…

3-D Printing – Reality vs. Advertising
About a year ago I backed a Kickstarter project for a 3-D printer. A few months after some typical Kickstarter delays (production trouble – etc), I received my shiny new printer in a big box. After setting it up I realized one thing: I had no education in this method of fabrication – and…

A year of Kickstarter
Having backed a few projects this year, I really enjoyed this short presentation. Kickstarter is Awesome!

Hiding text inside images
This is an interesting way to use image processing. It’s a program which encodes text into an image or into a sound file. Looks like something for the spy world but it’s something I never considered for image processing. Cool stuff!

The EyeCam, or What I’ve been up to the past 12 months…
So over the past year I’ve been working on a product which I can finally talk about. It’s a retinal imager which uses the iPhone 5/5S as a capture/storage system. For now the only specs I can give is that the images are wide field, and that it’s intended for patients who are dilated. It’s…

Arduino Controllers – Flexible low cost programmable control systems
I’ve had a chance to play with an Arduino Uno for the last few weeks. It’s a really neat programmable controller. So what is an Arduino, and why would anyone want to play with one? In short, an Arduino can be thought of as a simple-to-program standalone computer. The computer is a well established one,…

Storing your data – Cloud vs. Local Storage for Imaging Systems
Anyone working in imaging knows that one major ongoing problem is handling the massive amounts of data collected. A relatively low resolution camera can output massive volumes of data, if combined with a stage, z motor, wavelength switching hardware or just run in video collection mode. Sooner or later, many users end up needing a…
