LONDON – Engineers from Duke University and the University of Arizona have developed a camera with the potential to capture up to 50-Gpixels of data with a resolution over a 120 degree horizontal field that is five times better than 20/20 human vision.
With a camera, the lens has a fixed focal length. If the object distance is changed, the image distance (the distance between the lens and the film) is adjusted by moving the lens. This can't be done with the human eye: the image distance, the distance between the lens and the retina, is fixed.
Studies have measured the cone of visual attention and found it to be about 55 degrees wide. On a 35mm full frame camera, a 43mm lens provides an angle of view of 55 degrees, so that focal length provides exactly the same angle of view that we humans have.
Bionic eyes are implanted to replace natural eyes. They use various types of technology, depending on the specific eye or prototype. In 2012, a rudimentary version of a bionic eye was first implanted.
The camera lens setting that most closely resembles the human eye is around 50mm. This is because a 50mm lens produces an image that is similar in perspective to what the human eye sees. It is often referred to as a "normal" lens.
One lens in particular—the 50-mm lens—is often seen as the most objective of objectifs, and it is said to be the lens that best approximates human visual perspective.
On a clear day, you can see for up to 3 miles before the horizon due to the curvature of the earth. Yet you can see skyscrapers in a further distance than 3 miles due to no horizon obstruction. If you look into the sky you can see stars during the night that are millions of miles away.
The eye works just like a camera, where a camera's shutter opens or closes depending on the amount of light needed to expose the film in the back of the camera. The eye is in connection to the brain and depends on the brain to interpret what we see.
Roger Clark, the resolution of the human eye is 576 megapixels. That's huge when you compare it to the 12 megapixels of an iPhone 7's camera. But what does this mean, really?
1. The image projected onto the back of our eyes is upside down. Our brain decodes this image so that we perceive it the right way up. 2.

The image formed on retina are real and inverted and further the message sent by the optic nerve are chemical impulses to the brain, which turn them into erect images that we see with our eyes.
In fact, human eyes are part of a classification known as “camera-type eyes.” And just like a camera, it can't function without the presence of light. As light hits the eyes, it's focused by the eye in a way similar to a camera lens. This process allows the images we see to appear clear and sharp rather than blurry.
There are many similarities between the human eye and a camera, including a diaphragm to control the amount of light that gets through to the lens. This is the shutter in a camera, and the pupil, at the centre of the iris, in the human eye. A lens to focus the light and create an image.
The best recorded vision in humans is 20/10 vision—the ability to see objects clearly from 20 feet when a normal human can only see them at 10 feet.
Farthest Range Of Vision
Last but not least, the winner in the range of vision event: the eagle. We consider 20/20 vision to be perfect for us, but even at the lower end, eagles clock in at about 20/5 — four times better. At the upper end, their vision can be as good as eight times better than ours.
Humans with perfect eyesight are said to have 20/20 vision. This means that we can distinguish letters or objects at a distance of 20 feet. Dogs typically have 20/75 vision. What this means is that they must be 20 feet from an object to see it as well as a human standing 75 feet away.
Our eyes are some of the most complex structures in all of nature. The human eye can take in a million simultaneous impressions and can tell the difference between eight million different colours. On a clear, moonless night it can also detect a match being struck 50 miles away.
If your gaze is still, and you have 20/20 vision or better, you will be able to see all the pixels in a 4K resolution display. The highest resolution the human eye can see is 576 million pixels, but this is only when your gaze is moving.
576 megapixels is roughly 576,000,000 individual pixels, so at first glance, it would seem that we could see way more than an 8K TV has to offer. But it's not that simple. For instance, we see in 576 megapixel definition when our eyes are moving, but a single glance would only be about 5-15 megapixels.
Each eye alone gives us roughly a 130-degree field of vision. With two eyes, we can see nearly 180 degrees. Most of that field is what's called a Cyclopean image -- the single mental picture that a Cyclops might see. But that single image, created by two eyes, has both range and depth.
Even though the lens of your eye projects an upside down, 2D image on your retina, you see everything right-side up and in 3D which gives you proper visual orientation and the depth perception you need to catch a ball or safely navigate a set of stairs.
If the entire eye is removed, an ocular implant and prosthesis prevent the tissues in the eye socket from growing to fill the empty space. A prosthetic eye cannot restore vision. After removal of the natural eye and placement of a prosthetic eye, a person will have no vision in that eye.
Any camera that's capable of photographing actual objects is also capable of photographing real and virtual images.
