Curved Electronic Eye Created
nature.com — An eye-shaped camera made from a flexible mesh of silicon light-detectors marks a significant step towards creating a 'bionic' eye, its inventors say.

- Spuy767, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0I fail to see how this is of any benefit. When light is focuses, as onto a CCD or CMOS sensor, it is focused along a plane. When you warp the sensing surface, now you have to calculate a sort of parabolic transformation, which our brain does naturally. Seems like a good way to use more computing power.
And on a side note, why in the ***** am I being asked for a captcha, are any other long time members being asked for captchas again?- unitedkronos, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0Yeah, I have it too, a good addition in my opinion.
- rex84, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0Yeah, that happened to me too, maybe digg doesn't really like us commenting, lol.
- rex84, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0In addition to that, I've had to login three times in 15 minutes; I think something is broken in digg.
- grandinferno, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0It will be a benefit for people who are blind I'd say. In the near future I think that would be this techs no. 1 use.
The only reason I think they've included the captcha is to:
a. Stop people posting ***** so much
b. To coincide with the FF extension?? Maybe there's an exploit or something.
*shrugs
The first thing I'll be doing when this is readily available is having a couple mounted on the back of my head. Yeah. ***** yeah.- rex84, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0What's wrong with "posting ***** so much"? I thoght the point of digg was to discuss the user submitted content. I think digg is shooting itself in the foot on this one.
- grandinferno, on 08/10/2008, -0/+1I was probably more talking about things like:
"This is dumb"
"That was funny"
"lolwtfbbq"
- rex84, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0"Steve Austin, astronaut. A man barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster."
- jeremyduffy, on 08/07/2008, -1/+0Bring on the replacement parts! WOOO!
And yes, I have captchas too Spuy767 - diggingfornews, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0I guess no one told them there's a reason why there's no Bionic Woman season 2.
