Glass Imaging

Seed Round in 2022
Traditional cameras rely on an imaging lens which typically consists of several lens elements and a light sensitive sensor. Cameras have been built like this since 1816. Glass has been historically used to make high quality optical elements. We are replacing these elements with deep neural networks that give extreme flexibility when designing our cameras. It allows us to squeeze a huge sensor into an ultra thin module that fits perfectly into a mobile device without the need for protruding bumps. Our cameras bring SLR image quality into your pocket.
