The Future of Photography: Qualcomm's Snapdragon and the Evolution of Cameras

The future of photography is here, and it's all about tiny cameras working together to produce DSLR-like results. This technology is being showcased at CES by Qualcomm, who has developed a new chip that enables the creation of ultra-high-performance devices with advanced camera capabilities.

This technology is already starting to be seen in smartphones, where two or more cameras are working together to produce stunning results. The idea behind this technology is to get even smaller cameras on these devices, allowing for features like refocusing and post-processing to blur effects that were previously impossible to achieve with DSLRs. To make this happen, you need a powerful chip, which is exactly what Qualcomm's Snapdragon offers.

One of the key benefits of this technology is its ability to enhance the blur behind your subject, creating a more realistic depth effect. This is achieved through the use of advanced computational photography techniques that allow for high-resolution and accurate depth maps. The result is a photo that feels incredibly real, with a sense of depth that was previously impossible to achieve.

But what exactly does this technology look like in practice? Qualcomm has showcased a camera module on their new chip, which includes multiple lenses and image sensors working together to capture stunning results. This camera module is designed to work seamlessly with other devices, such as smartphones and tablets, to produce high-quality photos that rival those taken with DSLRs.

One of the key challenges in developing this technology was overcoming issues related to power consumption and thermal management. With a device capable of producing such advanced camera capabilities, it's essential that the chip is able to manage heat and power consumption effectively. Qualcomm has developed a new architecture that allows for more efficient processing of image data, reducing power consumption and enabling longer battery life.

This technology also enables new features like advanced low-light photography, which was previously impossible to achieve with traditional cameras. With the ability to capture high-resolution images in even the darkest conditions, this technology opens up new possibilities for photographers and content creators.

But what about VR? How does Qualcomm's Snapdragon fit into this emerging field? Well, VR requires even more powerful processing capabilities than other devices, thanks to the need to render multiple layers of visual information simultaneously. Qualcomm's chip is able to handle these demands with ease, providing the necessary processing power for seamless VR experiences.

In addition to its camera and VR capabilities, Qualcomm's Snapdragon also offers advanced modems that enable fast and reliable connectivity. With the ability to connect to high-speed networks and support 5G technology, this chip opens up new possibilities for mobile devices, from streaming and online gaming to IoT applications.

Overall, Qualcomm's Snapdragon represents a major breakthrough in camera technology, enabling the creation of ultra-high-performance devices with advanced camera capabilities. With its powerful architecture and efficient processing, this chip is set to revolutionize the world of photography and beyond.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwelcome back we are live here at CES 2018 happening in Las Vegas this is really fun and digital trends have has you covered I'm really excited to talk about this particular things coming up next in our interview because I believe a buzzword here at CES that we've been hearing over and over again is Qualcomm and Snapdragon to help us out with this actually sticking on by sitting at the table is editor-in-chief of Digital Trends Jeremy Kaplan hey Jeremy pleasure to be here with you thank you for having me on the set you're in charge not me this is the the hub the station right here and I'm nailing it actually but we are going to talk about Qualcomm here especially Snapdragon and to do that we've got the senior marketing manager PJ Jacobo is haifaa hey thank you no one gets my last name right the first time that was incredible I get it right 60% of the time every time all right about some of this stuff that you've brought along here today awesome thank you so and thank you for having me on so here at Qualcomm we make what's called the Snapdragon processor it's it's our mobile platform and inside of it is basically a mini computer it's got everything you need to basically build a computer it's got a CPU for general processing a GPU for graphics DSP for audio and AI it's got an isp for the camera everything is on here it runs really low-power um so you can go your devices go all day long and they're just fast how that thing is the size of your thumbnail it's it's ridiculous it's like unbelievable so this tiny little guy is what's in tons of previous premium smartphones like my Google pixel here gets an amazing battery life lasts all day takes awesome photos and I mean this is your this is your guy that's with you all day and it gets great battery life and performance thanks to Snapdragon but here at CES our partners are launching tons of other devices that have Snapdragon in it so for instance we have this awesome device here from Lenovo this is called The Mirage one it's a new virtual reality headset because it's using Snapdragon the entire computer is inside of here so whereas other virtual reality headsets you have to have a wire out of the back tethered to a massive desktop computer on the side inside here is the computer it's completely lightweight it's completely fanless it runs cool and it gets about six to eight hours of battery life and it also gives you because it has um accelerometers and all and camera features that Snapdragon supports you don't just get your head movement which we call three degrees of freedom freedom you get your whole body movement we call this six degrees of freedom so you can actually take steps forward and two steps backwards you can dock and you can move on angles so earlier today I was playing this skiing game in this virtual reality headset where I was moving my whole body in it so and that's pretty cool pretty wild you don't have to put any sensors on the sides of your room or anything like that all you have to do is have fun and put this on your head don't open space you don't break anything I love the design of that as well looks like is it AV from wali oh that's a really sleek futuristic design and you're doing futuristic things with it as well totally totally and you know what you could do actually um Google makes what they call the the Street View camera for your phone and you can capture 360 videos and then you can view them back in your headset in VR and it's very immersive very immersive so I'm usually I'm usually fairly skeptical about VR yeah and this I think is something that really moves the needle it makes it a much more accessible product it's gonna be great it's gonna come out on mid 2018 it's gonna be less than four hundred bucks and I think it's gonna be a lot of fun it's gonna be it's gonna be a lot of fun there's tons of VR content out there right now on YouTube and there's tons of games like the skiing game I was playing last night was a lot of fun so again this is the Lenovo Mirage one featuring Google's daydream OS essentially there's a computer inside of there thanks to this one chip which is why you've brought a computer down here as well to show us some of the power of this chip here we go and so the other thing so recently Microsoft has rewritten parts of their OS so that it can now run on the snapdragon processor so this has never happened before so all the computers out there have other processors that they run pretty hot so they require fans they require big batteries everything that you get in your mobile smartphone this thin form factor all-day battery life runs cool they're now going to bring that to pcs so our partners so lenovo again they built this computer the the mixed 630 and it's very lightweight it's very thin it's completely fanless and ready for this what do you guys think is like good battery life and a laptop eight hours is fantastic I can get I think eight hours is fantastic I think you'd make a very fantastic device if you can get eight hours how about twenty hours you're gonna be able to get twenty hours of that straight video playback so if you were just play a video which we're actually doing in our booth and our qualcomm booth we have a time-lapse setup and we're just playing video and we're going about 20 hours of video playback but crazy I legitimately have a nice deal and it's a brand new system and I'm getting about eight hours of battery life and I'm excited by the fact that I have that and you're telling me 20 hours because of this new chip but you know what's crazy about that and the eight hours that you're getting you're not just straight playing back video you're actually doing some work you're opening at your closing according to Microsoft testing they found that the way the the person usually uses a laptop they come home from work they'll use your laptop for two hours they'll close it pop them they'll get a week's worth of battery life from this thing so this is the Lenovo the mix 630 and it comes with you know this keyboard so it turns into a laptop here or detaches into a tablet has a touchscreen high resolution 1080p awesome keyboard uses Windows hello so you can unlock with your face it's got everything and then it has the awesome battery life from Snapdragon awesome performance and this thing is lightweight it's it's mobile they lost the only reason that I'm gonna inject a note of skepticism in here hit me forgive me for doing so do it there was a thing called the ARM processor there still is a thing called the ARM processor there was this whole phase that Microsoft went through where they wrote Windows for arm yes and then they it it wasn't particularly good and they kind of pushed it underneath the rug and forgot about it right right and you guys are it's kind of a similar concept here of a new chip so this is why this is why it's different so what that was like a special version of Windows that they kind of have this is Windows 10 this is Windows 10 there's there's it runs all of the apps that are out there right now and you know what Jeremy we're getting one of these in your hands very soon I love it so so we're gonna see Digital Trends writes the best reviews so gonna see some honest awesome reviews from you guys and I cannot wait for you guys to see the battery life and the performance and see that it's actual Windows 10 running on this little guy here latter II you see what he's doing yeah I do want to say they like this is obviously really lifting the game here when it comes to technology especially with mobile processors have you noticed that a lot of other companies are coming to you to team up and coming to Qualcomm to be like how how do we work together absolutely yeah so on so lenovo's aren't you aren't the only guys um asus is launching a laptop as well as HP so they're gonna be we like to say they're in the first wave so I I think you can expect to see a lot of more Microsoft and Snapdragon devices in the future comes in just competing with itself in on the market hey when Snapdragon we love all our children you know my mom would look me in the eyes I know she'd probably liked my brother and sister better but we love she says we love all our children you know excel applying it here there's another device on the table that talked us through this one oh my god this one listen I love I love all my children I love all you guys but I'm sorry this is my favorite thing here I would usually say they can't hear you but they can hear you well actually you know what I should point out I'm wearing one too we're also smartwatches featuring this is from guests it's featuring Snapdragon as well so that's how we got the all-day battery life and the great performance out of your SmartWatch there we go but this guy these are the Cubans this is the one tell us about it alright so here's what this is this device right here is it looks tiny it looks small but it creates amazing DSLR quality photos so the the way that this guy works when you have a big honking big DSLR it produces an awesome image but no one wants to carry it around because it's got a big lens attached to it it's because of the big image sensor inside of it that creates a big beautiful image rekka lot on red carpets and these poor photographers are just bending over complaining about their back pain so yeah I know that we're trying to solve back problems here with it so what this what this guy is on the way to the way to get amazing awesome image quality from a big image sensor is to break it into pieces so if you break it into pieces you get smaller image sensors and smaller lenses that you can fit in a compact design so this features this is called the light L 16 it features 16 cameras and because it has Snapdragon in real time you snap a photo from all 16 of these little cameras and it merges it together into one DSLR quality photo this thing fits in your pocket unbelievable right and that's not sad at all because it's doing we like to call this computational photography because you're using the computer power from this to merge all those pictures together sure exactly so you can actually do a couple of different things you get true optical zoom there's different lenses on here some of them are 28 millimeters some of our 70 millimeters some are 150 that collective gives you 5x optical zoom but what you're also capturing is a depth map because these are all have stereo vision effectively and once you have the depth map you can enhance the blur like a nice DSLR photo so it knows what's in the foreground it knows what's in the background and it can really blur out that that image behind you to make that desirable image the other thing you can do is once you have the the depth information you can refocus the image afterwards so let's say you just miss the eyes a little bit now you can go in there and tune it up afterwards after you take the photo with one of these as it that is like an old-school Gameboy so the fact that you can carry it around the stick the same shape and everything oh it's it's it's I mean this is I mean and frankly this is um this is the blueprint for the future of photography um you're already starting to see it with smartphones you know now we have two cameras on a smartphone I mean well just to working together but there's also maybe a front camera there's ambient light sensors there's actually tons of cameras on your smartphone but the idea is to get more and more smaller cameras on here so you can get closer to DSLR photos and do things that DSLRs never could before like refocus and post and actually enhance the blur behind you and to do that of course you need the power of a very powerful chip it's gonna make this happen exactly which is interesting if I can jump in here I feel like a lot of consumers looking at products or thinking about capabilities not necessarily about the processing power that goes into them which is a message that I perhaps Qualcomm needs to share with the world look for the powerful chip that can make this kind of stuff happen absolutely absolutely that's what and that's why hey that's where we're here with you guys on digital trends yeah there's there's such a huge mix of technologies in here and that's really I shouldn't even say this because you know I shouldn't tell the competitors this but that's how we get the awesome battery life because it's not just a CPU it's not just a GPU it's not just a DSP it's not just a nice we have all these things and the idea is if you can spread all of that processing out to the right type of architecture then you can get the best battery life for that exact process so VR is going to use different parts of the chip cameras he's going to try different parts of the chip the modem that connects to the Internet we use different parts of the chip and that's how we get that awesome performance but at that awesome low power and low thermal so it needs nice and cool nervous with you holding the chip being very very animated because if you throw and lose that you'll never find it again it's so small we got a lot more of these probably charged me for that I probably will lose my job but you know I apparently they have a lot more of these I'm I do have a question here in the chat Dan Baker's just wanting to know about the camera here is this kind of camera having all of those different lenses in there um oh I've lost the question asking more and more does it work in something other than an ideal lighting situation and does the depths of feel have a feel to have a clean roll off similar to or is it similar to portrait mode on the iPhone yeah great thanks Dan great question actually so he wants to know the first part of question was does it work a well in non ideal lighting connection will a situation a little like situations exactly that's what we call yah-ha that's why this exists that's why people love DSLRs because it is able to collect so much light because it has that big image sensor with photo diodes that's able to pull in all that light collectively between all these little sensors you have all of those photo diodes pulling in all that light through these and through these lenses with large apertures so yes this is going to perform awesome in low-light and the blur effect is you're calling this computational I mean the more depth information you can capture the more accurate you'll know your depth information will be so you'll understand if you're what's in the background what's in the foreground we like to call that high resolution high accurate depth maps and so it'll be even more accurate with a device like this so feel even realer and they and there's your answer big time thank you for asking the questions though yeah totally totally so hold on where else could we find out more about Snapdragon and what comes up too if people can't get to see yes no absolutely absolutely um so everyone can go to Qualcomm comm you can check out our Twitter feed which is at Qualcomm or you know what we got this other new thing I hear it's I hear it's amazing it's the Qualcomm podcast it's available in the Apple podcast store it's available in Google Music Store I hear it's amazing because I am the host they're there I I mean I don't know is that they had the Oscars I don't know how I wasn't award it's absurd but yeah check out the podcast it's awesome and check out Qualcomm and check out the stuff from our partners and check out digital trends because they're gonna review all this stuff it's gonna be a lot of fun I can't wait to see what you guys say BJ thank you so much for joining us here at digital trends and taking time out from CES but we are not done yet there is still more Tech Talk coming your waywelcome back we are live here at CES 2018 happening in Las Vegas this is really fun and digital trends have has you covered I'm really excited to talk about this particular things coming up next in our interview because I believe a buzzword here at CES that we've been hearing over and over again is Qualcomm and Snapdragon to help us out with this
