LG's patent shows a smartphone with 16 cameras

LG Electronics has applied for a patent for a smartphone with 16 awesome cameras, capable of capturing different angles of each photo or video. From a single click, the amateur photographer would take not only a photo, but also a 3D animation, ideal to be shared on social networks. The user can also choose the vision of a specific lens for each shot taken and thus always have his best viewing angle.

As with any patent, there is no guarantee that the project will be implemented, but despite that, I thought it was worth showing it to you. As we do not have an image on his appearance this aberration this smartphone, after all, we are talking about a simple patent, I made two montages in Photoshop, the first to show how the objectives would be, and the other to show how strange it would be to become a smartphone with all these cameras installed.

Of course, we are only talking about a patent, and if the designer followed the example of my model, it would certainly be something very ugly and grotesque, but the idea itself until it have potential. One breath is that it would not look as ugly as the picture above, which is just a joke, the patent image is actually closer to the one below.

The patent also provides for the use of a mirror to take selfies with the 16 cameras and really enjoy them to make sense, but, in all honesty, I know people who would lose hours choosing the best angle between each face of the face. best picture.

The patent covers not only the positioning and use of the 16 lenses themselves, but also the future interface that can be used to make significant changes to the images after capture. A device equipped with this set of cameras would be able to perform some crazy tricks and some even strange, such as trimming a portion of the photo to make changes and change the angle of some details of the scene or people in the picture.

Once the photo is taken, it would be possible to choose not only the angle of the person, if it wants to be represented from top to bottom, but also to change the angle of a part of the image, leaving the body whole in one position and the face in another.

It would also be possible to switch from one person to another and the device would use artificial intelligence and images from all cameras to make the perfect junction with the rest of the world. # 39; s image. This smartphone with 16 LG cameras would be practically a pocket-sized Photoshop, something that the Soviets would certainly like to have at their disposal when Stalin decided to change friends, an art that they actually developed up to ### 39 to at least 21 years ago.

Not to mention that LG has copied its competitors, it should be noted that the patent application was filed in 2014. This article from the Dutch website LetsGoDigital was a reminder of the LG Optimus 3D, which used its two cameras to take photos in 3D. , and that I tested several years ago. Well, this patent for a smartphone with 16 lenses is nothing more than an evolution of technology launched with this old device.
