Compared to single-lens eyes, compound eyes offer lower resolution, but significantly larger fields of view, thin package, and with negligible distortion. 



In my opinion, this amazing device will require parallel image processing to operate all of those sensors in real time.

maybe manycore aproach or gpu can be possible solution
