Who is currently researching lenses that are cheaper, sustainable, at a production that can scale?

Are there any other industries on the peripheral that would also benefit from market innovation in optics?

Smartphones

This is true. I was reading about research into "semi-liquid" lenses that can reshape. That could be very useful for smartphones.

A few years ago, a friend of mine, who is a video engineer, introduced me to the DJI Osmo Pocket[0]. That was an awesome little camera. I suspect that it may have improved with age.

Do you manufactures consider sustainability? The other factors, sure.
