“Taking their cue from Nature, engineers have built a camera using stretchable electronics that scans the world like a fly’s compound eye — with a wide field of view and no distortion, they said Wednesday. The digital device, which has a multitude of tiny, pliable lenses like those found in ant, beetle, and lobster eyes, also allows for a near-infinite depth of field and high motion sensitivity, the team wrote in the journal Nature. ‘We’ve figured out ways to make cameras that incorporate all of the essential design features of eyes found in the insect world,’ study co-author John Rogers of the University of Illinois’ engineering department told AFP.”
