    I noticed that the "camera" in the article video had a very detailed text prompt seemingly already loaded into the device before the "photo" was taken. It really doesn't seem like a camera at all, rather a mixture of echolocation, to find out the general positioning of the photo subject, and an AI that uses the anchor points captured by the camera to form a totally generated image.

    That being said, I can see this having amazing implications for the film and video editing industry if the quality of the images and the capability of the AI are refined.

        Thank you for the additional info; knowing that it even auto-generates the prompt based on location data is almost as interesting as the camera itself for me. I would love a more detailed look...

        Edit: Here is a link to the creator's website for anyone else interested. It has some more specific information than this article.

    Kind of reminds me of Nvidia's DLSS? Probably a different technology is being used but seems like a similar design philosophy
