“Professor Masatoshi Ishikawa from the University of Tokyo writes in to point us to their latest video. It shows their 1,000-frames-per-second camera using a pan-tilt system to track a ping pong ball. The device is so fast it can always keep the ball in the center of the frame. Possible applications include tracking balls or players on sports broadcasts and recording detailed dynamics of a flying bird of fast moving vehicles.”

Or, you know, TRACKING ITS HUMAN PREY!
