Look its pretty cool that there's imaging sensors this small but... this is just a spec sheet? People who upvote this please add additional context or interesting other stuff because as it stands there's now a two page pdf on the frontend basically saying "you can buy very small cameras for disposable useage". Not too intellectually stimulating a submission in my opinion...
- jxnsncjbcb 1y agoHow is a specsheet any less interesting than a random GitHub readme?
- isoprophlex 1y agoWell, a gh repo goes beyond what fits in one or two sentences. I can clone, run, inspect and usually use to learn something from those. Now if this was a blogpost by someone making, say, disposable video-enabled teledildonics, we'd go beyond "this exists"...

- paulwetzel 1y agoFor the most part, when working with hardware, I find this to be quite typical. A spec sheet, if one is lucky maybe an application note tackling a tangentially similar problem and thats usually it. Unfortunately open source hardware tends to be much less of a thing than software.
- SequoiaHope 1y agoWell I work in robotics and this is making me wonder about integrating very small cameras in to parts of our system that could benefit from that. Honestly most datasheets are interesting to me because I design electronics.
- makapuf 1y agoI think the interesting figure could be that its a cube of ~1mm but I agree it's lacking context
- gregsadetsky 1y agoMy apologies! I found a “it’s incredible that this exists” tweet/x post with a picture of this sensor, and didn’t find anything more than the spec sheet. To me, the sheer existence of it is incredible. I didn’t realize… such a small sensor was possible? But yes, I’d also love a writeup/blog/video about it. Hopefully someone can share something on it. Cheers
