Our Robotic Overlords: Just Another Piece of the Puzzle

Posted on July 30, 2007 at 11:30 am (PST)

With CMOS chips this small (1.4mm, or 1/18 of an inch), the Overlords will now be able to watch us wherever we go. TDC’s OV6920 CameraChip is only 3.2mm in size, all components included, which I think will fit inside my nose (just for comparison purposes, of course). Resolution is low at this point, only 328X250, but it requires very little power (3.3V DC), and can be fitted into all sorts of nooks and crannies. I’m telling you people: watch out for the Singularity, because once it hits, we’ll no longer be the masters.
