Prototype Display Lets You Say Goodbye to Reading Glasses

LastYouSee

 

 

The technology uses algorithms to alter an image based on a person’s glasses prescription together with a light filter set in front of the display. The algorithm alters the light from each individual pixel so that, when fed through a tiny hole in the plastic filter, rays of light reach the retina in a way that re-creates a sharp image...

...

In addition to making it easier for people with simple vision problems to use all kinds of displays without glasses, the technique may help those with more serious vision problems caused by physical defects that can’t be corrected with glasses or contacts, researchers say.

This sounds really cool and can be a great help for a lot of people. It would be awesome to have this when we're all old and wanna have a LAN party at the retirement home :D

 

The research paper will be presented at the International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques in Vancouver.

There is more to the world than a screen and sitting on your butt in the living room. While this is neat, it doesn't let you say goodbye to anything except maybe whatever is within your home. Unless you get laser correction, you're still gonna need dem frames. ;)

 

(I totally wouldn't mind having this tech in my monitor, though..)
