There’s something wonderful about Marvin Bileck’s minimal illustrations for All About the Stars.

Dynamic Target Tracking Camera System
Fast object tracking camera demonstration, capturing and focusing at 1/1000th of a second - very impressive - video embedded below:
Via DigInfo:
This camera system can track very fast moving objects, keeping them in the center of the screen at all times. Currently under development by the Ishikawa Oku Lab. at the University of Tokyo, this latest version captures Full HD video and can be used outdoors.
“Ordinarily, to change the direction a camera faces, you move the camera mechanically. But in this system, it’s not the camera that moves, it’s the mirrors. This makes it possible to change where you’re looking really quickly. In this demonstration, we’re tracking a table tennis ball. The ball moves extremely fast, but this system can keep compensating for the ball’s motion, so the ball stays in the middle of the image.”
I wouldn’t be surprised to see some kind of music video made with this to arrive soon …
