Electronic Eyeball Uses Curved Image Sensor

Posted by timothy on from the intelligent-design dept.

AnonymousCoward writes "US researchers have made a digital imaging system designed like the human eyeball — its image sensor is on the inside of a hemisphere like your retina. Resolution is so far low, but finding a way to use silicon sensors this way offers a way around the unavoidable distortion that results from projecting a wide angle view onto a flat sensor."

      Isn't that what the hooker with the glass eye said to her loyal customer?

      The appearance of this incredible technology to my eyes leaves a gaze of blind glare in my squinted vision. As I notice the visibility of this project on Slashdot, I can only wonder how many page views this will receive. Look, to ability to watch TV is very important, so if this noticeably forward looking technology can ensure that blind people can glance at hot women, then let me bare witness: Today was the day that we stared the future dans les yeux!

      Now cut it out. SERIOUSLY!
