World’s smallest video camera is as small as a grain of salt


Video camera can be small as a grain of salt which measures only 1 cubic millimeter. Such a super tiny video camera was developed by engineers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration. Despite the super tiny size, this super tiny video cam is able to record video at a resolution of 62,500 pixels.

The super tiny video cam is attached with an electrical cable, which allows high-res images and videos to be transmitted through it, while it’s recording video.

This tiny camera is not expensive to create. It’s perfect for use in medicine and the inexpensive cost lets it be disposable which saves doctors time from having to sterilize a video camera each time after use.

The camera can be used for automotive designs, such as to replace the sideview mirrors, making cars even more aerodynamic. Frauhofer Institute plans to roll out the super tiny cam to the market next year. Its super tiny size also imposes a worry, while it’s used as a spy cam that is too tiny to be detectable.
