Three decades ago, University of Utah bioengineer Richard A. Normann, PhD, had a radical new idea he hoped might create artificial sight for people who had lost their vision due to disease. If the ...

Artificial Vision for the blind was made possible because of a brain implant that was developed by researchers from Moran Eye Center in Spain, focused on bringing two-dimensional objects to be seen.

It isn't unusual for researchers to take something incredible in nature, such as a cat's eye or vision system, and attempt to create that in the laboratory. Biologically inspired engineering happens ...

Chinese researchers have reportedly made a breakthrough in artificial vision technology using a rare mineral called tellurium. This development could one day help restore sight to the blind, perhaps ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Replicating human visual perception in machines has been an ongoing challenge for engineers and researchers. While computers today can recognize images or analyze video footage, ...

A potential cure for blindness may be on the way, and this time, it would not require a scanner or camera that would bring the waves to a brain cell for the person to perceive the objects seen.

A 78-year-old man with almost complete blindness has been the first recipient to receive an artificial cornea implant, restoring his vision to the point of recognizing loved ones and identifying ...

Inspired by the remarkable vision of cats, researchers have created a new artificial vision system that allows robots to ...

Researchers have developed an ionic artificial vision device capable of increasing the edge contrast between the darker and lighter areas of an mage in a manner similar to that of human vision. This ...
