There are many reasons the displays in all of your devices are as savourless as a pancake , include the simple fact that curvature result in distorted image that are concentrated to correct . But taking a design cue from nature , researchers at Disneyhave created a curving display that manages to avoid garble altogether .
Instead of RGB pixels , the display is made up oflight channeling fiber oculus - like tubesarranged in what ’s known as a fibonacci episode — which occurs naturally in nature . ( guess of how the source on a helianthus are arranged . ) Inner Light is project into the two-dimensional end of the display , and organize an icon on the curved , bulging end that does n’t look stretched or distorted . The engineering even bear touching interactivity using an infrared photographic camera .
3D - Printed Optics Could fall Up the contrivance of the Future
As for practical uses ? Since Disney ’s behind the research the obvious uses are as a way to raise the audio - animatronic quality in its parks . But it could eventually even see role in futurist - look fomite dashboards , or even as a computer interface gadget — think trackballs but with extra visual feedback .
