Glass may be making DSLRs obsolete with its new technology for smartphone cameras. The startup is working to improve smartphone cameras using anamorphic lenses and deep neural networks that would essentially give them image quality that rivals DSLRs.
Smartphone cameras have come a long way, now offering high megapixel counts and impressive software like portrait mode, but the images you snap with a smartphone still feel like they don’t quite match the level of detail and crispness that you see with images from a DSLR. Glass is trying to offer the next step in that evolution, marrying the portability of smartphone cameras with better image quality found in DSLRs.
