What happens to vision if a person puts on glasses that flip the image?

The image of the outside world hits the retina upside down, and after that it is corrected by the brain, taking into account signals from other senses. In 1897, American psychologist George Stratton designed an invertoscope - glasses that inverted the image before light entered the eye. At first, the scientist was very disoriented, but after a few days he formed new visual-motor associations, and he was less and less aware that the world was turned upside down. When Stratton took off his glasses, his perception was again disturbed, but this time the adaptation to his usual vision was much faster.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why did the surname Bicycles appear two centuries before the bicycle itself?

The bicycle was invented in the 19th century, but the name Bicycles is found in Russian documents as early as the 17th century. The fact is that the surnames of the Orthodox clergy were often formed by translating Russian surnames into Latin or ancient Greek. So, Bobrov could become Kastorsky, and Nadezhdin - Speransky. Bicycles, presumably, came from Bystronozhkin.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

One dollar AI processor 21.08.2018

A team of Taiwanese researchers, in collaboration with specialists from a chip design company, has created a specialized image recognition processor using deep learning technology.

The idea of the Mipy chip was put forward by three electrical engineering professors from National Taiwan Normal University and implemented by AVSdsp. Mipy is claimed to be the smallest and cheapest AI processor available on the market. These qualities make it possible to count on mass application in home and automotive electronics, in products for the police, in advertising and educational products, in industrial equipment and toys. Mipy costs only $1.

According to the developers, the Mipy chip acts as a companion to the mainstream SoC and can be easily added to any product with basic sound and image processing functions.
