The technique described takes a low quality sensor (a DRAM chip with an open window onto it) and uses it to produce reasonable quality grayscale images. Interesting to look at the sourcecode of the Kuckoo program (before the widespread adoption of UTF-8!) and how it uses High Dynamic Range tricks to read off the image at different exposures. With much faster RAM and smaller cells nowadays maybe one could do something cool with very fast photography, but of course the faster/smaller the RAM the more trouble interfacing with it and calibrating the light intake.
