Summary
ETH Zurich researchers have developed a new type of pixel called "Fourier pixels" that can both display and analyze images simultaneously. This breakthrough, published in Nature, could lead to devices that function as both camera and display at the same time. The technology builds on the concept of the "picture element" first introduced in 1927, but adds a new dimension by enabling pixels to capture light information while also emitting it.
