#Vision-correcting electronic display could free users from eyeglasses The idea is to anticipate how your eyes will naturally distort whatever's on screen.
The technology uses algorithms to alter an image based on a person's glasses prescription together with a light filter set in front of the display.
In addition to making it easier for people with simple vision problems to use all kinds of displays without glasses
whose display they had affixed an acrylic slab topped with a plastic screen pierced with thousands of tiny, evenly spaced holes.
Gordon Wetzstein, who coauthored the paper while a research scientist at MIT s Media Lab, says the screen allows a regular two-dimensional display to work as
what's known as alight field display. This means the screen controls the way individual light rays emanate from the display, leading to a sharper image without degrading contrast.
The researchers tested out their device by using a Canon DSLR camera with the focus set to simulate vision problems like farsightedness.
Wetzstein says the next step is to build prototype displays that people can use in the real world something he expects could take a few years.
when we look at a display that doesn t look right, we tend to naturally move around to improve the focus.
says that if researchers used a display with a high enough resolution about double the 326 pixels per inch of the ipod Touch used in the paper the technology could be made to be used by more than one person at once.

I saw some 3d printed objects that were unlike those on display by other companies. When I picked them up,
I found that this 3d printer did not fit into the same category as those other machines on the display floor.

and the full-color IRIS printer which was released in 2012. Both printers utilize a technology called Selective Deposition Lamination (SDL.
In SDL, standard sheets of paper, like you currently use with your desktop printer, are fed into the machine.
The initial sheet is bonded to the build plate, then the printer deposits an adhesive and follows by stacking another sheet of paper on top.
This occurs until the printer is ready to begin the actual cutting and printing of the object.
It begins to stack the paper using a process that selectively deposits a water-based adhesive to each individual sheet of paper,
there is an additional step involved where each piece of paper is colored using a modified 2-dimensional inkjet printer,
This allows for the printing of objects that can look extremely realistic. As you can imagine,

The so-called Fingerreader, a prototype produced by a 3-D printer, fits like a ring on the user s finger, equipped with a small camera that scans text.
The Fingerreader can read papers, books, magazines, newspapers, computer screens and other devices, but it has problems with text on a touch screen,
said Shilkrot. That s because touching the screen with the tip of the finger would move text around,
producing unintended results. Disabling the touch-screen function eliminates the problem, he said. Berrier said affordable pricing could make the Fingerreader a key tool to help people with vision impairment integrate into the modern information economy.

allowing the printer to lay down more material with the same number of movements. But thicker layers means sacrificing the printer s resolution,

#3d printing may finally give artificial organs a blood supply Vascularized tissue constructed by printing cell-laden inks in a layered zigzag pattern.
Using a custom-built four-head 3-D printer and a isappearingink, materials scientist Jennifer Lewisand her team created a patch of tissue containing skin cells and biological structural material interwoven with blood-vessel-like structures.
The tissue is built by the 3-D printer in layers. A gelatin-based ink acts as extracellular matrixhe structural mix of proteins and other biological molecules that surrounds cells in the body.
Two other inks contained the gelatin material and either mouse or human skin cells. All these inks are viscous enough to maintain their structure after being laid down by the printer.
A third ink with counterintuitive behavior helped the team create the hollow tubes. This ink has a Jell-o-like consistency at room temperature
