It seems that we could increase camera resolution by putting the sensor on a vibrating platform, capturing a stream of frames, and processing them into a single image. The paper mentions Google camera software doing this with hand tremor. Is there any instance of intentionally shaking a camera to increase resolution like this?

I predict that future super high-resolution camera rigs will be whirling contraptions, spinning in 3 dimensions to improve 3D resolution. And the best still camera will be a wand (linear sensor array) on an articulated head that moves like a chicken's head, capturing during movement. The sound of a camera will be whoosh instead of click.



I believe Pentax have a system like this in some DSLR models
