Electronic Octopus Eye
A new, experiemental model may duplicate animal eyes.
At least, that’s the goal. A scientist has recently created a system that he believes will let him “see” like an octopus. Or, a lion. Or, an eagle. Or, really, just about any other animal one cares to name. What’s more, according to the article on Wired News, he hopes to simulate what it might look like if an eagle saw things through an octopus eye. And other combonations that aren’t possible in nature. It’s certainly an interesting look at one way science is trying to understand how animals percieve the world. And, of course, how we do, too.
