The process involves wrapping reflective tape around the edge of the window. Most of the light coming from the object in the picture passes through the glass, but just enough—about 1 percent—scatters through the window and into the camera sensor for the computer algorithm to decode the image.
Is the glass not considered a lens? Collecting and then processing photons after passing through glass seems similar to the concept of a photographic lens.
Applications for a lensless camera can be almost unlimited. Security cameras could be built into a home during construction by using the windows as lenses.
Oh, ok.
