Could this Bionic Eye Be Better Than a Real One?
A new artificial eye has been created which incorporates densely packed, nanometre-scale light sensors into a hemispherical retina-like component ... just like its real-world biological counterpart. The team, from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, say their proof-of-concept bionic device surpasses the sensitivity of a human eye...
Ground breaking lens opens new possibilities in virtual and augmented reality
