“The Future of Seeing” by Dr. Daniel Sodickson: How Imaging Is Transforming Medicine, Science and Society

Meet Dr. Daniel Sodickson – Chief of Innovation in Radiology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and an Expert at LDV Capital. In his book, “The Future of Seeing: How Imaging Is Changing Our World”, he traces humanity’s long quest to illuminate the invisible – from the first biological eyes that evolved in Earth’s ancient oceans to the telescopes, microscopes and MRI machines that map worlds beyond the reach of natural vision. Blending history, science and imagination, he reveals how imaging has reshaped medicine, altered economies and reframed our understanding of privacy and identity. Now, on the brink of an AI-driven revolution, Dr. Sodickson invites us to consider a future in which technology emulates not just our sight, but our very minds – changing how we see the world, each other and ourselves. Dan’s vision aligns with our fund’s thesis dating back to 2012.

Killing DSLR Cameras – The Final Nail in the Coffin

The smartphone has democratized photography. Improved camera quality is a feature that sells new smartphones. Ever since the inception of LDV Capital in 2012, Evan Nisselson was thrilled with the possibility to partner with people who would bring DSLR quality to small devices.

Earlier this year, we led the seed funding of Glass Imaging – a company on a mission to enable unrivaled professional image quality in smartphones. The team redesigns the optics that work with proprietary AI algorithms to correct the distortions & convert the sensor output to a standard image. You can now see the fantastic quality of pictures taken with the Glass Imaging prototype – it’s happening and soon this technology will fit into pocket-size devices!
