I had similar thoughts recently because I am working on a catadioptric system for a project at work. https://www.reddit.com/r/Optics/comments/oimvt0/curved_camer... https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/news/sonys-new-curved-ima... It appears that curved sensors maybe exist somewhere in a lab, and have been slightly commericialized, but I didn't see any 'buy now' buttons when I looked. I didn't dive too deep into it because It's not like I'm going to be changing the sensor in my design at this stage of the game, but it was an idea that a friend suggested when I talked about the limitations of the mirror based system that we're using. https://techxplore.com/news/2024-07-insect-autonomous-strate... This link popped up on hackernews a few days ago and I noticed that they were using a mirror in their optical system as well. I haven't had a chance to read beyond that promotional article above so I don't know how they're overcoming the depth of field limitations with this kind of optical set up. |
