Digital Home Thoughts: Red Eye Reduction in Hardware Coming Sooner Than Expected

"Pixology plc, the digital photographic software expert, announces today the launch of Embedded Pixology IRISS, an automatic solution for removing the problem of red-eye instantaneously, at point of source, as the image is taken in the digital camera. Developed six months ahead of schedule in a successful collaboration with Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI), the new product is now available on TI's digital media processor, which manages the majority of a digital camera's image processing once the image is captured."

We posted on this a few months ago, shortly after we launched this site I believe, and it seems like the technology for removing red eye has taken a big step forward. I'm very hopeful in this solution, but a bit cautious until I can see it in action. Check out the rest of the press release on PhotographyBLOG.
