Students at Cambridge invented it so that researchers toiling away in their computer lab could check on whether or not the coffee maker in the next room was full or empty.
The fledgling device got its name because of the foggy view it shared — reflecting both the city’s famous misty weather and the low-resolution images the device produces.
