Being twice the size of a microwave and weighing in at one hundred pounds, this isn't exactly what you would call a "point and click" camera, but it is still extremely impressive. Thanks to Mark Vucelick for the heads up.

The Duke device, called Aware-2, is a long way from being a product. The current version needs lots of space to house and cool its electronic boards; it weighs 100 pounds and is about the size of two stacked microwave ovens. It also takes about 18 seconds to shoot a frame and record the data on a disk.
 
damn, so I will get multi-gigabyte e-mails now with pictures of ugly babies and dogs. :(
