A new 3D camera inspired by jumping spiders' eyes may well be found in the next generation of battery-operated wearable tech, ...

There’s a lot we can learn from the way different animals see the world, whether it's a mantis shrimp inspiring a new cancer-detecting camera, electric fish that could help us see through murky waters ...

Most 3D cameras estimate depth either by comparing images from multiple viewpoints or by projecting and measuring light—approaches that can require substantial computational power, expensive hardware, ...

Engineers have studied how jumping spiders see and used this unusual biological model to create a working 3D imaging device called SpiderCam. Unlike traditional depth cameras, SpiderCam avoids the ...

When it comes to efficient design, scientists are still learning from nature's smart evolutionary strategies. Now, a Harvard team has created a more efficient depth sensor by taking cues from jumping ...

Called SpiderCam, the new device senses depth the same way that jumping spiders judge distances before making a high precision hop. The camera produces real-time 3D maps while consuming less than a ...
