The secret to this new camera is that the surface contains 1.6 million cylinder shaped 'posts' which each use artificial intelligence and light to turn what they detect into an image.

The team at Princetown University and the University of Washington in America which developed the device, are now working to add more features to the camera itself - such as giving it the ability to detect objects.

Scientists are really excited by this new camera and think it could make a big difference to future technology.

The camera could be used to help doctors take better images of the human body to help diagnose and treat diseases.

It could also be used to make better quality camera phones.

Felix Heide, who helped develop the camera said, "You wouldn't need three cameras on the back of your phone anymore, but the whole back of your phone would become one giant camera.

"We can think of completely different ways to build devices in the future," he added.
