- biohzrd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This is quite amazing. Simply the idea behind it is WAY outside of the norm, what I wouldn't give to eventually produce something that may inspire future generations.
- hackwrench, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It may be a departure from lens based optics, but how much of a departure is it from fiber optics?
- grungyhamster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'm not sure that they are similar in the least. I may not understand it entirely, so forgive me if my reply may seem trite or stupid. The only reason why I say this is because I haven't heard anything about a fiber optic cable sending visual data to a computer about it's surroundings, but I may indeed be wrong.
