Alice Camera is a new concept of a smartphone-connected device with a large (Micro Four Thirds) image sensor that is running a successful campaign on Indiegogo.

I wrote first about the Alice Camera back in October 2020 when the team behind it first started to promote it on social media. Developed by a small UK-based startup photogram.ai, the Alice Camera went live on Indiegogo in early February 2021 – and as more technical details emerged, I wrote about it again. The creators of Alice Camera have since raised over £100,000 so it certainly woke some interest. Nino interviewed the CEO of photogram.ai Vishal Kumar to found out more about the Alice Camera concept. Let’s sum up what we have been told. Alice Camera, The Future of Mirrorless Cameras? As we learned, Vishal Kumar has a background both as a data scientist and content creator. Vishal’s colleague and the CTO of photogram.ai Dr. Liam Donovan is an electronics engineer with experience in photography and building AI-embedded hardware systems. Alice Camera.

The smartphone manufacturers have been doing this for the past five years or more. Traditional camera companies have mostly stayed away from AI and computational photography till now, so that is where Vishal and his team see the opportunity...
