Conventional silicon architecture has taken computer vision a long way, but Purdue University researchers are developing an alternative path — taking a cue from nature — that they say is the ...

Analog cameras are nowhere near as efficient as biological eyes. If you’ve ever handled a single-lens reflex (SLR) camera, especially if it had a zoom lens attached, you know how heavy they are, and ...

The first successful human implant of a 3D-printed cornea made from human eye cells cultured in a laboratory has restored a ...

Computer scientists at the University of Maryland have unveiled a new camera inspired by the mechanics of the human eye. It is designed to enhance how robots perceive and respond to their surroundings ...

The human eye is an incredibly complex piece of equipment, so it’s no wonder that we’ve had a hard time reverse engineering it. Now, researchers have unveiled the world’s first 3D artificial eye, ...

Scientists have revived light-sensing neuron cells in organ donor eyes and restored communication between them as part of a series of discoveries that stand to transform brain and vision research.

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

Bio-inspired design for photosensitive perovskite-based capacitors could enable light sensors that respond only to movement. (Courtesy: Pixabay) A new type of sensor that closely mimics how the human ...

Big tech is eager to get us excited about the coming of the metaverse, but today's virtual reality hardware is a long way from meeting their ambitious goals. One of the biggest challenges is building ...

A new prototype webcam looks like a realistic human eye, complete with its own eyebrow – and it blinks, too. If that's not enough, it's also capable of looking around and acting out on its own accord.
