Scientists develop eye camera
Aug 13, 2008
Researchers have created a camera that's about the same size and shape of a human eye, and they see it developing into sharper pictures and even a bionic eye.
Researchers at the University of Illinois and Northwestern University have developed a camera with a layout similar in size and shape to the human eye. The eye camera is based on "single-crystalline silicon detectors and electronics, configured in a stretchable, interconnected mesh", according to the University of Illinois.
The curved technology will put an entire image in focus, in contrast to today's cameras, which take images that are sharper in the center than near the edges, according to researchers. Plus, the technology could be a big step toward the creation of a bionic eye similar to the one worn by the "Terminator".
