A praying mantis slowly approaches a 3D printed model of a wasp before striking. The model is moved using a motor as mantises will ignore static prey (VIDEO) University of Nottingham Caption A praying ...

It's easy to forget that the world is not as it seems. We humans are equipped with a particular set of senses that give us particular insight into the world—we see in visible light, for instance, not ...

The praying mantis is one of the few insects with compound eyes and the ability to perceive 3D space. Engineers are replicating their visual systems to make machines see better. Self-driving cars ...

Giving whole new meaning to the term "bug eyed," researchers glue tiny glasses to the weird insect that sees and hunts in 3D in hopes of understanding 3D vision better. Eric Mack has been a CNET ...

Scientists at Newcastle University are outfitting praying mantises with the world’s smallest 3D glasses, to understand better how these notoriously dextrous predators perceive depth. According to the ...

Not long ago, scientists at the University of Newcastle made the incredible discovery that praying mantis insects can see the world in 3D. To prove this, they used an extremely clever method. The ...

Researchers at the U.K.’s Newcastle University may have discovered a new way to more efficiently model computer vision systems — and it’s all thanks to a multi-year project that involves putting tiny ...

Miniature glasses have revealed a new form of 3-D vision in praying mantises that could lead to simpler visual processing for robots. Miniature glasses have revealed a new form of 3D vision in praying ...

In order to prove that invertebrates have stereopsis, or 3D vision, a team of researchers from Newcastle University have recently published a study in Scientific Reports that tested the vision of ...

Researchers have discovered the novel way that praying mantises' 3D vision works. They gathered their findings with the help of a pair of tiny 3D glasses they outfitted onto a praying mantis. 3D or ...

Praying mantises willing to wear 3D glasses and sit through bizarre, abstract movies have revealed a new way of seeing the world in three dimensions. The findings could help improve machine vision for ...
