NAGOYA (Kyodo) Guinness World Records has certified a camera developed at the Nagoya Institute of Technology as being equipped with the most lenses in the world.
The 138-lens camera was developed by associate professor Yojiro Ishino and his students to capture sequential images of a swaying flame from multiple angles. Using computer-scanning technologies, the camera can also reproduce 3-D images of a flame.
Ishino and his students laid out the lenses, each costing ¥200, in four rows on the camera's body, which is 47 cm in diameter and 7.2 cm in height. It took six months to assemble the camera.
