A jumping spider with a brain the size of a poppy seed holds secret to a revolutionary new 3D camera
A new ultra-efficient 3D camera inspired by jumping spiders could reshape how drones, robots and wearables see.
Take jumping spiders, for instance. The arachnids need very strong vision to avoid predators, hunt prey, and move around.
Jumping spiders have multiple layers of retinas in each eye. Each retina captures an image focused at a slightly different distance, enabling them to judge depth at high precision (Image: Ryan Kaldari ...
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, ...
