Art Camera: Ahead of Google I/O, the company unveiled a new high-resolution camera capable of taking “gigapixel” photos. Don’t go crazy, it’s not for selfies… 
It's called Art Camera, and it was created for the Google Cultural Institute, which wants to photograph artworks from museums around the world, archive them, and preserve them.
Google says the camera is so powerful that you can zoom in to see all the brushstrokes and oil paint drips in a Van Gogh painting, for example.
The photo shoot will be done piece by piece, capturing extremely high-resolution images of each part of the image. The photos will then be sent to Google's servers for editing. This process is said to take just a few hours, while it would normally take days.
Currently, the company's archive has more than 1,000 artworks archived from collections around the world. You can explore the gallery and search for artworks you would like to see.
Google has built just 20 Art Cameras to be used for archival purposes and currently they shoot 2D.
