The first memory layer has a plurality of first memory elements, the second memory layer has a plurality of second memory elements, and the image capture layer has a plurality of image capture elements. Each image capture element is in electrical communication with a corresponding first memory element to allow image data generated by each image capture element to be stored in its corresponding first memory element, and each first memory element is in electrical communication with a corresponding second memory element to allow data stored in each first memory element to be moved to its corresponding second memory element.
