The Camera Obscura (literally, dark or hidden room, from Latin) is a device consisting of a room or box which is enclosed except for a small hole; this means that the room is kept dark but for the light coming in through the hole. This light projects an image of the outside scene onto a wall or screen. An improvement is to mount a lens in the hole. Artists have used camera obscurae as an aid; the projected image can be drawn around to obtain a picture in correct scale and perspective.

CINCINNATI — Tim Jenison is an imaging software engineer who talks like Oracle founder Larry Ellison but looks like artist Chuck Close. Jenison believes he has solved one of the greatest mysteries in art: how did 17th-century Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer paint so photo-realistically 150 years before the invention of photography?
