755 megapixel Cinema light field camera

Impressive always interesting to see people going forward. Those recording sizes are funny too reminds me of fraps originally haha.
 
Technically yes, but since the eye never actually stays still or snapshots a single image, it's a meaningless figure. The eye doesn't process 576 MP in "one shot" because it's not possible for it to do so.

400 gig/s what storage technology exist to be able to store that much that fast?

It would most likely be bespoke kit, and would record to the equivalent of 'powered RAM' to begin with, which would fill like a normal camera's buffer I'd imagine, and feed off to a fast bank of SSD equivalent type memory for proper longer-term storage.

Either way, it'd be interesting to see details of but might not mean much to most of us.
 
That's pretty cool.

I can't think of any storage medium that can approach that kind of data transfer currently though. Sure we've got the tech to transfer it but afaik not store it.

That's how I imagined it, but the buffer would need to be hundreds of terrabytes in size. I don't know of anything that capable.
 
The 75Mega0rays probably results in a 4K image by the way. Multiple rays have to be combined to create a single pixel of a single color.

This. A cyclic buffer of RAM going onto a progressively slower memory devices. With that much data I can only assume it is going onto magnetic disks/tapes at some point and only sitting on SSDs/RAM straight after capture and while editing that shot. Saying that though SSDs are getting cheaper by the day.

EDIT

There was a university project back in 2010 when I was visiting a potential future department that used a cyclic buffer for recording huge amounts of data from multiple cameras and sensors filming bats flying while using their "sonar".
 
there won't be any distant memories because we'll all be wired in to the central 400gb/s central memory storage to instantly retrieve any memory (with additional AdWords)

Yeah RAM can be scaled up like that - assuming you can tow a van or something around for the storage - 400GB/s is pretty trivial for a bespoke RAM buffer (GPUs already use those kind of speeds) and RAID SSD setups have been scaled up into the GB/s.

By the time that can happen, smartphones will be but a distant memory I imagine. :)

Really? I think smartphones are here to stay. We all need a phone don't we and by cramming more tech into one it just serves our appetite to keep buying the latest model.
