Compared with conventional digital cameras, this new technology requires less power, takes up less room and captures light from previously undetected parts of the spectrum.
Researchers predict their technology will first be developed to take pictures in the X-ray, infrared, and ultraviolet regions of the spectrum, as sensors in these regions are much more expensive ? often worth more than A$1,000 each. Reducing the number of sensors required from millions to just ONE could make photography in these spectral regions affordable.

Clever idea. I guess the hard part will be to get all those miniscule mirrors vibrating randomly.

This is one of the most amazing bits of genius I've seen in a very long time. Good find.
