 World's first eye-shaped camera Fri, 8 August 2008 ...makes photographic memories redundant
 This? A camera? (well, something like this anyway...) It's the size and shape of a human eye, but instead of leaving what we see up to our imaginations, the world's first curved electronic 'eye' camera will allow us to capture distortion-free images.
"Animal eyes are naturally curved for capturing images, but up to now artificial vision systems have been limited to flat image-recording surfaces...Current digital cameras routinely cram more than 10 million pixels into an image, but have not overcome the long-standing problem of distortion created by a flat imager.
According to British journal Nature, this new technology also points the way for future devices that could restore sight.
