Who invented the camera?
The forerunner to the camera was the camera obscura, which was an instrument consisting of a darkened chamber or box, into which light was admitted through a convex lens, forming an image of external objects on a 
surface of paper or glass. The camera obscura was described by an Arabic scientist in his Book of Optics, written in the early 11th century.
