The praying mantis is one of the few insects with compound eyes and the ability to perceive 3D space. Engineers are replicating their visual systems to make machines see better. Self-driving cars ...

Researchers at the University of Newcastle are exploring the computational abilities of praying mantis eyes by having them wear tiny 3D glasses. Researchers at the University of Newcastle in the UK ...

Scientists have created some pretty nifty bug eyeglasses — yes, actual spectacles built for bugs. Specifically, for the eyes of praying mantises being used by researchers at Newcastle University in ...

Feb. 8 (UPI) --New research has shown that praying mantises have a unique mechanism for seeing in 3D -- different from the way humans and other animals see in three dimensions. Human eyes merge the ...

These might be the most stylish bugs around. Scientists made praying mantises wear tiny 3D glasses to test if the insects have strereopsis, or 3D vision. While these insects won't be watching the new ...

The praying mantis is the only invertebrate known to have binocular vision. Newcastle University researchers studied the nature of 3D vision in the praying mantis. To do this, they fit the tiny ...

New research has revised the horned praying mantis group and traced the evolution of its distinctive camouflage features, suggesting that disruptive camouflage evolved twice within the group. A ...

It sounds like the kind of research project that a future a Congressman might hold up as an example of wasteful government spending: gluing a praying mantis to a stick and putting mini-3D goggles on ...
