PMA 2002: Carver Mead, CEO of Foveon today gave a talk in an early morning DIMA session called "The Cutting Edge of Commercial Imaging". In this talk he explained the limitations of the current mosaic type CCD sensor and went on to talk about the new X3 sensor in some detail. As part of his talk he also announced that Foveon are working with Adobe to provide X3 RAW support from within products such as Photoshop. He saved the best for last, a video of Microsoft's Bill Gates endorsing the Foveon X3 technology and announcing that Microsoft are working with Foveon to provide native support for X3 RAW images from within Windows XP.
