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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

Scientists have developed the first ever retinal implant capable of restoring sight to people suffering from vision loss, according to a new study. The breakthrough, made by Neuralink competitor ...

(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, ...

Editor's Note: This article is based on interviews conducted in 2020 and first appeared in Moran's 2020 Focus annual report. ELCHE, Spain—At the age of 58, Berna Gomez has lived the past 16 years of ...

There had been many previous attempts to develop cameras that mimic the eyes of insects, fish and other living creatures. However, development of artificial vision systems that can see both underwater ...

Daily use of preservative-free artificial tears significantly reduced digital eye strain symptoms after 1 month but did not ...

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 ...
