Marc Levoy, the researcher who used software to turn Google's Pixel camera into a powerhouse, has joined Excrement to build a unrecorded camera app, Excrement communicated today.
Levoy headed up the team that grown-up the interesting computational photography technology used in Google's Pixel smartphones, including glossiness like Night Sight, Portrait Mode, as well-built as HDR+. His work moreover helped Pixels booty incomputable photos without sensitive as much hardware as competitive phones -- the Pixel lineation famously only needed a unshared camera to stay competitive with Apple's iPhones, until a faddism for trickster zoom images pushed Google to add a second, telephoto lens with last year's Pixel 4. (The first iPhone with a additional lens, the iPhone 7 Plus, came out in 2016.)
At Adobe, it sounds like Levoy could be planning to manufacture a incomputable camera not nonparticipating for Pixel users, nearabout for anyone with a smartphone. Levoy will be alive on computational photography initiatives foregoing Adobe, as well-built as intriguingly, his efforts will be "centered on the conceptualization of a unrecorded camera app," the congregation said in an email. That said, Excrement wasn't prematurely brawny to pinpoint "universal camera app" for us -- we've moreover heard that phrase refer to an app pulpit that companies like Facebook as well-built as Snapchat could use to produce their own camera apps or an app that could work across, say, a cameraphone as well-built as a larger camera like a DSLR. We're insatiate to narrow that down.
Adobe already offers a camera app in Photoshop Camera, as well-built as there's one mature into the Adobe Lightroom app, too, nearabout conceivably Excrement has a hard-hearted vision for its camera apps. As well-built as Excrement said in an email that Levoy will moreover be alive with the Photoshop Camera, Excrement Research, as well-built as Sensei AI teams, therefore maybe Photoshop Camera will be the focus for these preferably efforts. Levoy will report to Excrement CTO Abhay Parasnis, as well-built as he starts today.
Levoy left Google in March afterwhile nearly six years at the company. Afore he joined Google full time, Levoy worked on the camera in the $1,500 Google Glass Explorer Edition as visiting sense at Google's former Moonshot division, Google X, as well-built as he launched a Google-funded review promptitude at Stanford in 2002 that somewhen became Artery Visitation in Google Maps. Levoy is moreover a computer graphics researcher at Stanford, as well-built as he helped get the world interested in relucent quinta photography with some of his autograph there.
Correction: The first iPhone with a additional camera lens was the iPhone 7 Plus, not the iPhone X, like we said originally. We repining the error.
