Open-source camera could revolutionize photography

“Computer science graduate student Andrew Adams, who helped design the prototype of the Stanford camera (dubbed Frankencamera) imagines a future where consumers download applications to their open-platform cameras the way Apple apps are downloaded to iPhones today. When the camera’s operating software is made available publicly, perhaps a year from now, users will be able to continuously improve it, along the open-source model of the Linux operating system for computers or the Mozilla Firefox web browser.”
