First image from Sony's curved, eye-mimicking camera sensor surfaces


“The first idea was to mimic the eyes of the organism,” Sony Device Manager Yarn Soichiro said about the new sensor.
Sony uses a complex process using a custom “bending machine” to flex the sensor and manufacture the human retina-grade curvature sensor that is also fortified with a ceramic coating after it’s flexed.
At the moment, Sony is ready to produce a full frame sensor for digital cameras, and a smaller one, the size of the one in the Sony Xperia Z smartphones (1/2.3”) for mobile devices like smartphones.
