New Pixel Technology Turns Screens Into Cameras
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a 'Fourier pixel' that can both display images and capture light simultaneously. The pixel manipulates light intensity, phase, and polarization to enable dual functionality. The breakthrough, published in Nature, raises privacy concerns reminiscent of Orwellian surveillance.
