Hi Bravo,Just wanted to revisit this Samsung announcement again. In another article I noticed it says Samsung will "collaborate with global partners to implement industry-leading central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU) at the same time. They are also planning to develop an ultra-high-pixel image sensor close to the human eye and a sensor that detects and implements the five senses."
I highlighted "a sensor" (singular) because it indicates they're intending on developing a sensor that is capable of processing all five sensor modalities, which is obviously not the same as developing different sensors to process different senses.
Then I remembered there was a Rob Telson podcast (link below) in which he describes why Akida is so unique in it's ability in this regard.
Does anyone know of any other processor that is commercially available which is capable of mimicking the 5 senses like AKIDA?

This looks like the "ultra-high-pixel image sensor".
WO2022203447A1 ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING IMAGE SENSOR AND OPERATING METHOD THEREFOR
The dynamic range (DR) of a digital image is defined as the ratio of the brightest pixel values to the darkest pixel values in the image. The human visual perception system can handle higher DR than a typical digital camera or monitor. Therefore, it may be difficult for the electronic device to acquire or express an image recognized by a human as it is. An image having a DR greater than a DR that an electronic device can generally handle is referred to as a high dynamic range (HDR) image. An HDR image may have a wider DR than an image acquired with a general digital camera.

Referring to FIG. 17 , the camera module 1680 includes a lens assembly 1710 , a flash 1720 , an image sensor 1730 , an image stabilizer 1740 , a memory 1750 (eg, a buffer memory), or an image signal processor. (1760). The lens assembly 1710 may collect light emitted from a subject, which is an image to be captured. Lens assembly 1710 may include one or more lenses. According to an embodiment, the camera module 1680 may include a plurality of lens assemblies 1710 . In this case, the camera module 1680 may form, for example, a dual camera, a 360 degree camera, or a spherical camera. Some of the plurality of lens assemblies 1710 may have the same lens properties (eg, angle of view, focal length, auto focus, f number, or optical zoom), or at least one lens assembly may be a different lens assembly. It may have one or more lens properties that are different from the lens properties of . The lens assembly 1710 may include, for example, a wide-angle lens or a telephoto lens.
The flash 1720 may emit light used to enhance light emitted or reflected from the subject. According to an embodiment, the flash 1720 may include one or more light emitting diodes (eg, a red-green-blue (RGB) LED, a white LED, an infrared LED, or an ultraviolet LED), or a xenon lamp. The image sensor 1730 may acquire an image corresponding to the subject by converting light emitted or reflected from the subject and transmitted through the lens assembly 1710 into an electrical signal. According to an embodiment, the image sensor 1730 is, for example, one image sensor selected from among image sensors having different properties, such as an RGB sensor, a black and white (BW) sensor, an IR sensor, or a UV sensor, the same It may include a plurality of image sensors having properties, or a plurality of image sensors having different properties. Each image sensor included in the image sensor 1730 may be implemented using, for example, a charged coupled device (CCD) sensor or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor.
Rods and cones?
Looks like they have various different types of pixels specifically designed for IR, colour, UV, B&W in little clusters on the photoreceptor.
