A Robotic Eye
Research scientists at the University of California San Diego have created a robotic lens which can be controlled by small eye movements. For example, a double blink can cause the lens to zoom in. This amazing innovation was made possible by the discovery of a natural electrical charge in the eye called an “electro-oculographic signal”. The new lens is […]
