New Scientist has an article about researchers at the University of Illinois who created an ‘artificial eyeball,’ which is essentially a new way of creating wide angle camera lenses without distorting the image, like the human retina.  With conventional lenses, you get that panoramic or fish-eye effect.  The article said the first uses will be in industrial and military surveillance, but it has potential for medical applications, allowing the blind to see.  Pretty cool!  There has already been progress allowing the deaf to hear, so we’re on our happy way to becoming cyborgs.

But, look at this comparison.  Coincidence?  I think not!
