Light Co failed to make multiple cameras work
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Light has confirmed to Android Authority that it’s “no longer operating in the smartphone industry.” The comment suggests that we won’t see future smartphones with Light technology in them.

    The firm’s website promoted smartphone-based use-cases on its front page until July 31 2019, according to the Wayback Machine. From August 2019, it featured automotive use-cases instead.

    The company attracted attention in 2015 when it launched the Light L16 camera, a compact camera that actually featured 16 lenses. Light touted numerous benefits for this tech, including improved HDR and higher resolution shots.

    All of their products showed big issues stitching multiple images. And it seems like ptoblem is unsolvable in present time.

    Going into auto industry they can use only parts of images that can be stitched good, and tell the algorithsm to ignore other parts.

    I briefly owned the Nokia 9 Pureview. Light's implementation had potential, but the performance was hit or miss. You could take the same photo under the same controlled lighting conditions three times and get three different results. And it was absolutely awful in low light, and overall a half-baked execution. A shame they didn't fix it, the technology had potential.
