The clever folks at Hewlett Packard, realizing that cats and dogs are the second most photographed subjects after humans, have designed a camera that helps deal with that eerie eye-glow that makes your precious pup look like the Alien Hound from Jupiter. As reported in an article in the New York Times:
Light can reflect differently on animals’ retinas than it does on human retinas, creating an eerie glow. As in removing human red eye, software in the camera detects the glow and replaces it with a remarkably lifelike black dot.
Hewlett-Packard has also added software that removes blemishes and smoothes wrinkles in photographs of humans.
The 7.2-megapixel camera, with a 3X optical zoom lens and a three-inch image display, will go on sale next month for $230.
