Liquid Lens Paired With Infrared Light and a Smartphone Creates Smart Glasses
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 26, 2017 — Liquid-based lenses that automatically focus on what a person is seeing could replace reading glasses and bifocals in the near future. The human eye has a lens inside that adjusts the focal depth depending on what is being viewed. But as people age, the lens loses its ability to change focus, which is why many people ultimately require reading glasses or bifocals to see objects up close, and regular eyeglasses to see far away. A team of researchers from the University of Utah are

Liquid lens: water + sound = fast focusing
TROY, N.Y. – An adaptive liquid lens that is powered by water, sound and surface tension can capture 250 pictures per second using very little energy, and its ability to focus extremely quickly (in 0.01 seconds) makes it promising for use in cell phone cameras,...
Sound Focuses Liquid Lens
TROY, N.Y., Sept. 22, 2008 -- A tiny new lens made of two water droplets can change focus when high frequency sounds cause the droplets to vibrate back and forth. Because it captures 250 pictures per second and requires considerably less energy to operate than competing methods,...
