Liquid lenses and optofluidic systems represent a transformative fusion of fluid dynamics and optical engineering, providing adaptive optical components whose focal properties can be dynamically ...

Apple is researching the use of liquid lenses that could be adjusted within a future Apple Vision Pro headset instead of requiring some users to buy and fit separately prescribed lenses. It's ...

Apple is working on technology that could allow you to ditch the expensive Zeiss inserts needed to correct vision issues on the Apple Vision Pro. Future headsets could dynamically change focus based ...

Researchers based out of the Philippines have created a tunable liquid lens system that could be used in classrooms and other low-cost environments. The system is devised of several droplets of ...

Maxim Integrated Products has teamed up with Varioptic to pioneer a complete package for digital still and video camera and cell-phone makers that want to replace powerhungry, noisy hard lenses with ...

French manufacturer Varioptic SA is expected to use the 3GSM World Congress next week to show a liquid lens that is capable of zooming. “After showing a proof of concept at the Cebit trade show last ...

It seems that Seiko Instruments will begin mass production of "liquid lenses" that can focus on lenses by using liquid rather than conventional machines for small devices such as mobile phones. As a ...

We’re more than a little excited over the prospect of inexpensive liquid lenses, even if Varioptic’s first outing with the technology isn’t all that mind-blowing. The initial devices on the market ...

Holography is about capturing 3D data from a scene, and being able to reconstruct that scene — preferably in high fidelity. Holography is not a new idea, but engaging in it is not exactly a ...
