Sure liquid camera lenses have been in the news more than once, but only as a unique concept. It hasn’t been untill now that we’ve a lot about it developing and being available in the market soon. From what we hear, the investment by a Japanese giant called Osaka in the US small firm Holochip, might just bring us a little closer to experiencing this technology soon enough. What it basically entails is the use of adaptive polymer lens (APL), which swaps glass for liquid to create a smaller, more powerful optic. Pretty neat. This kind of technology would allow manufacturers to make some really powerful lenses even for the tiniest of gadgets. The joint venture states that this one would be up for grabs in Asia and the US pretty soon, and if you’re a wee bit worried about temperature regulations jamming the liquid lenses, then you really have nothing to fear, coz these hold good between -20 to +60ºC.
