Whatever happened to the "single pixel" camera idea?

Enlarging the images was a problem!

The same thing that happened to the single brain-cell idea, it was given a
trademark name of "Rich the Troll".

Though in all truth, some people are quite fond of a single wall in a room
painted in a particular hue and unadorned by anything else. To them that is
their single-pixel masterpiece and it brings them a great sense of artistic
pleasure. But look at how large they were able to display it without having
any upsampling artifacts! Amazing.

Pfffft! Dull morning, I had some left-over ASCII characters that I needed
to use up, waste not want not and all that rubbish

Here's a few more left-overs that I couldn't work into the above: Q % Xx Zz
^ E F / # ` G { H I _ Jj ~~ K L ] M @ Y, I always seem to have too many of
these damn things left-over for some reason. ~~~~~ I need to find more
uses for them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, and these things too }{ I'll dump a few of them now. I'm running out of
room to store them all.

Here is the result of Google search on the subject.

The idea still seems to be alive and well.

A serious problem with Google is dates.
They never but the date of the last entry in a link and it could very
well be 2 years old if no other site has more recent info conforming to
their idea of a relevant site.

I took a look at "Physics Buzz", the first link in the search. How the
hell did they get the mandrill to sit still for 15 minutes?

I think you'll find that it was discredited a while back, when it was
discovered that the human eye has more than one pixel.

Didn't you once claim that you had a way of doing it?

They read him mind-numbing gibberish from Rich's Usenet articles.

Hello, Bob:

How could you abide such blatant cruelty to animals? :-)

Looks like they took a photo of a photo. Here's the best link I found:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/10/081014134021.htm
-some interesting related stories there too

Seems like the advantage is high sensitivity & low cost for imaging
faint spectrum stuff similar to x-rays. I don't really get the random
pattern interferometer thingy <g>.
