    this looks great, cant wait to see it implemented in modern smartphones. Looking forward to the future of this

    Hm, I'm a little confused with the problem here, but I did get an interesting idea for raytracing. Maybe you could implement an algorithm that is shooting rays out randomly at first, but then as the rays hit objects it starts weighting itself to focus more on closer objects, then you could fill in the less focused parts with a blurrier approximate, but since it's further away it will be less noticeable.

    So old photos where people are blured to be anonymous…. is not anonymous anymore….

    Unfortunately typically phones have a multiplexed bus which doesn't permit several cameras to be used at the same time. So while software works now, hardware will have to grow to accommodate.

    my phone has a refocus feature long before AI was a thing on smartphones lol and I still am baffled about how it works

    I can see this becoming illegal in Asian countries.

    Please make a video on the revolutionary liquid neural network! I'm surprised that you haven't made a single video on that topic! It's a huge request from me!!😊🙏

    Well well sounds like FBI Director Wray needs to utilize this tool to track down that sketchy DNC pipe bomber he claimed to only have blurry video of… today to Representative Jim Jordan during Congressional Testimony. Maybe you can make this happen, Two Minute Papers!

    I'm wondering if you talk like that in real life or just for presentation purposes?

    From a personal privacy perspective, this is worrying. Especially for blurred images that are purposely done for privacy and safety.

    Finally we can see all the UFOs… Also every video where people blur things like nudity can be deblurred now…

    Bro why you talk like that. I remember 5 years ago when I was watching your videos, your voice was clear and fluent. You know people are supposed to improve with time, you deteriorated.

    I'm not a doctor & I don't care, I like 2MP, even if Dr. Zsolnai-Fehér says it's just for Doctors (presumably with a sniff & an upturned nose).
    1980s & 1990s rural midwest would never have allowed me to be a DOCTOR, & then came the gang-stalkers, so, I'm probably smarter than most of you & watch what I want.

    There is something uncanny about your voice in this video, have you synthesized it ?

    Samsung has been doing this for a few years by taking 2 photos with different focus, and Google is doing something similar with a feature that doesn't let the photo get blurred on Google Camera in quick movements introduced in Google Pixel 6 I think

    Dude WTF are you talking about? For a researcher you sure did no research into cameras. All you have to do is check a few websites to see the statistics on iPhone photos and which lenses are used and you can see the Ultra Wide lenses are actually used quite a bit more than a telephoto lens and almost as much as the standard lens. They aren’t overlooked and they’re utilized constantly. Ultra Wide lenses are amazing. Just because you don’t know about it and you don’t use it doesn’t mean everybody else’s is clueless.

    Funny, theyre still prompting me in photos/drive to remove blurry photos to save space.
