EVANSTON, Ill., May 1 (UPI) -- Inspired by an insect eye, U.S. scientists say they've developed a hemispherical digital camera with an exceptional wide-angle field of view and sharp images.
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Northwestern University say their camera mimics the complex eye of a fly with nearly 200 tiny lenses, essentially a big eye comprised of many small eyes.
