MIT research on ‘Vision Correction’

Posted on July 30, 2016 by

Millions of people worldwide need glasses or contact lenses to see or read properly. We introduce a computational display technology that predistorts the presented content for an observer, so that the target image is perceived without the need for eyewear.
