- Cyclops was a name variant of the analog Teleca, a modern type of jumelle (binocular camera).
- The Cyclops was an experimental digital camera which used the 32×32 array of memory cells on a CMOS type integrated circuit as the first CMOS type digital still camera sensor . That meant that the camera could shoot 32×32 pixel "images", rudimentary "true black and white" images because the "sensor's" color-depth was just one bit. The Cyclops used a 25mm f2.8 D-mount lens. The camera was made by a Silicon Valley microcomputer pioneer, by Cromemco Inc.. Despite of its makeshift sensor it became the first commercially sold digital camera, brought to market in 1975 as experimental accessory for microcomputers like Cromemco's Z-1, the Altair, and Commodore's KIM-1. 32×32 pixels is still a common image format for icons.
