Columbia University scientists have come up with a computer-based way to extract information from the images mirrored on the surface of the human eye.
"Given a photograph of a person, we can determine from his eyes a wide-angled view of the world around him. We can know exactly what he was looking at," says Shree Nayar, Professor of Computer Science.
The corneal imaging system enables scientists to view the world around the individual from the person's eyes. Research on the system could one day find use in various fields - surveillance cameras, journalism, human-machine interfaces, study of human reactions and even Hollywood, he says.
