Flexible sheet camera could wrap around objects

Researchers from Columbia University have created a new type of flexible sheet camera that could wrap around objects and capture images through 360 degrees.
According to its developers, the technology could have a range of applications, such as providing enhanced driver awareness by wrapping around the exterior of a car. The sheet camera could also be placed around a lamppost in a public area, providing video images from all directions.
