MIT Media Lab

Raskar joined MIT Media Lab in 2007. [13] Raskar, together with others developed a computational display technology therein Allows observers with refractive errors , cataracts and some other eye disorders to perceive a focused image on a screen without wearing refraction-corrective spectacles. The technology uses a light field display in combination with customized filtering algorithms therein pre-distort the content Presented for the observer. [14] [15]

His lab produktie a number of extreme high-speed pictures using a femto-camera dat took images at around one-trillion frames per second. [16] Way Down port ook developed a camera to see around corners using bursts of laser light. [17]

Juliett Fiss has Covered his role as the catalyst to behind the SIGGRAPH NEXT program at SIGGRAPH 2015 in Los Angeles. [18]
