Dynamic Target Tracking Camera

The University of Tokyo created a camera that can capture high-speed flying objects and center them on the screen at all times. Normally to change the direction a camera faces you have to manually or mechanically move the camera itself, but with the new prototype that was created, it’s not the actual camera that moves but the mirrors. How it works is the camera is able to track, and center, the tennis ball despite it moving extremely fast. The mirrors that allow the camera to track the tennis ball can move at high speeds on the order of milliseconds.This link will show a video that shows how this new camera works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn5YQVvW-hQ#t=31.
