Videograb from Seeing the World through Your Eyes. Computer vision technology can reconstruct a 3D image of a scene displayed in the reflection of a person?s eyeball. Jia-Bin Huang and colleagues at the University of Maryland, College Park developed a computer vision model which takes between 5 and 15 photographs from different angles of an individual?s face while they look at a scene, and reconstructs the scene from the reflection in their eyeball using computer vision, a branch of machine learning. https://world-from-eyes.github.io/
