Engineers at Tokyo University’s Ishikawa Oku Laboratory have come up with new technology to track extremely fast motion. Their new system – which uses ‘Saccade Mirrors’ for pitch and tilt, a ‘pupil shift system’, and very fast image processing – is able to keep even the quickest subject in the center of the frame at all times. According to engineers, the initial application for this system could be to capture video at sporting events. They expect it to be market-ready in about two years. Follow the link for a video demonstration of this intriguing new technology.
