Scientists have created a compact spectral singlet lens that turns standard cameras into hyperspectral ones, reducing system ...

Future VR headsets could use a new type of lens inspired by holographic devices. The bilayer bifocal lens relies on external ...

The lens features a bilayer structure made of liquid crystal materials. Each layer responds differently to the applied electric field, splitting incoming light into oppositely polarized beams. Bifocal ...

The lenses, which use two layers of liquid crystal structures, could be useful for various applications such as optical ...

These are independent reviews of the products mentioned, but TIME receives a commission when purchases are made through ...

The traditional “spectrometer + lens” setups in hyperspectral cameras involve performance tradeoffs when the system is driven ...

They were one of the first groups of creatures to develop complex, compound eyes, where many individual lenses focus light onto groups of photoreceptor cells. This group of hard-shelled prehistoric ...

While the pancake lenses used in most standalone headsets are lighter, Pimax matches that clarity without sacrificing display brightness. Overall, Pimax found the right balance of features and cost, ...

Researchers from the University of East Anglia (UEA) have unveiled a resin that could transform how intraocular lenses (IOLs) are manufactured. These are artificial lenses that aid in the ...

A Projector Creates Pixelated Portraits, Using Crystal and LEDs A lo-res mechanical projector generates images from a matrix of crystal lenses.

The problem? Wiping your lenses on your T-shirt or any old fabric can worsen smudges. A better option: A high-quality glasses cleaning kit with a dedicated microfiber cleaning cloth and a cleaning ...
