Building Optics That Can See Around Objects
Applied Science · Demo · 14 min · 2020 · YouTube title: Hypercentric optics: A camera lens that can see behind objects
Why it's here
Commenters cite it as the clearest demonstration of hypercentric lenses and of looking around objects with optics.
What it covers
Applied Science shows how telecentric and hypercentric optics differ from normal lenses, producing no or negative perspective. The video builds a telecentric system from a Fresnel lens and demonstrates a lens that can see around objects.
