Human Eye Camera Acts Like the Real Thing
By Jared Newman
Conventional cameras do a pretty good job of depicting the world around us, but they don’t process imagery the same way as the human eye. Designer Georg Milde dreamed up a technology that shows just how much information our eyeballs are taking in, using a combination of lenses and post-production. The lenses have variable variable focus and focal length, and when light hits they spread the image to to three sensors, processing the image as a human would. But we don’t see in rectangles, like a camera, so the Human Eye Camera presents its RAW images as stitched panoramas, curving and distorting the image to show what it would look like if the brain didn’t flatten it. Thank goodness for brains. [via Yanko Design]
