New Camera As Good As The Human Eye In Color Perception

PaPaLaB Co Ltd, a Japanese firm, has announced their development of the “YC-3300,” a camera they claim can capture the exact same colors as seen by the human eye. The camera is designed for archiving and medical applications. While cameras with similar technology currently exist, they are too large and expensive to be practical. The YC-3300 is currently priced at $140,477, with more affordable models in the pipeline.

Technology like this will be crucial with cameras in medicine taking an ever larger role in research, education, and diagnosis.
