Knowledge

Itz Wednesday morning. I just woke up and don't know what to do yet. Anyway as usual I was online gazing the net to absorb fuel for my cells for the day. And here is what I found interesting:-





Eyes used to be windows to the soul. Now they're windows to the world.



Prof. Shree Nayar along with Ko Nishino began the work in March 2003 to create a system to capture and analyze the evanescent pictures displayed on our own little ocular movie screens. "the Eye Cam" ! Their "corneal imaging system" seems at first rather prosaic: basically it involves using a high-resolution digital camera to snap a close-up of a face. The real action takes place when the image is downloaded to the computer: sophisticated software isolates the circular area around the iris called the limbus, where a film of tear fluid over the cornea reflects the world like a clear midsummer lake. From there it's possible to lift a wide-angle view of the person's surroundings when the shot was snapped. For more please go here.
