Watching Photons

This video was recorded at the Royal Society using an incredible piece of kit belonging to the team at 'Creative Cameras'.

The camera is actually able to detect individual photons and what you are seeing here is the result of that - each pixel representing one photon.

FifeX designed and built the box for this which houses the laser and mirror system which was used in London - visitors were actually able to see this in action.

It's possibly a way off being added to the next smartphone but it was pretty amazing to see!
