Bionic LiDAR has crossed a psychological and technical threshold, delivering spatial detail that out-resolves the human ...

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 ...

For decades, restoring sight after severe eye damage sat firmly in the realm of science fiction. Now a wave of converging advances, from gene editing and stem cells to microchips and laser-based ...

In advanced dry disease, a key problem is failure of retinal pigment epithelium, often shortened to RPE. These cells help ...

Discover the limits of human sight: from a 3-mile horizon and candle flames 2.8 km away to seeing galaxies 2.5 million light-years in the distance.

A San Diego team is part of a major undertaking that will bring together more than 40 scientists, doctors, and industry experts hand-picked from around the country to make vision-restoring whole eye ...

Researchers build a vision-based system for prosthetic hands, enabling context-aware grip control and improved daily function ...

Despite advances in machine vision, processing visual data requires substantial computing resources and energy, limiting deployment in edge devices. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a ...

Using an experimental technique called "Oz," researchers stimulated the human retina such that people saw a brand-new color. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

A snail may hold the key to restoring vision for people with some eye diseases. Golden apple snails (Pomacea canaliculata) are freshwater snails from South America. Alice Accorsi became familiar with ...
