By the help of Pelican Imaging, a new 16-element lens camera will be introduced into smart phone by the Finnish handset manufacturer into their premium series of handsets i.e. the Lumia soon in the next year as per hint provided by the company.

The interesting feature of Pelican Camera is that it contains 16 individual lenses & when the shutter is pressed then the lens snaps all the pictures together & every pixels carry depth information.

This is quite similar to Lytro camera, where a photographer can alter the focus of the image or can have multiple image focus points, soon the image has been captured.

The company claims that the photographers can change the image background, scale any portion of the picture or add any new elements into the picture.

So just yesterday we saw that Samsung’s imminent GT-I9300 may arrive with an eye tracking feature and we were surprise how the company would realize this and today we find out that Samsung has previously tried to realize a tiny bit of it in its yesterday’s liberate of the ‘Value-Pack’ for the Galaxy S.

Samsung implements, 'Blink to prove you're human' in Android ICS 'Face Unlock' feature

One of the additional attention-catching features of Android 4.0, Face Unlock learns the user’s face and only afterward unlocks the gadget if it identifies them with the front-facing camera. However, Google rapidly confess that the lock-screen unusual was more gimmick than true biometric security, yielding that it could be fooled with a snapshot of the registered user.

Samsung’s customized system, however, adds in the obligation that the user must blink while they’re being observed by Face Unlock, thus going some way to establish that they are a genuine person rather than a still photograph.

The security is still improbable to be foolproof, though it does make it a little less simple to trick into unlocking. Our own experience with Ice Cream Sandwich recommended that the system was both enjoyable and annoying in equal measure, having difficulty with altered haircuts, sunglasses and different expressions.
