Prototype display corrects for vision problems

Researchers are developing a display that compensates for the viewer's eyesight condition so it can be seen clearly without corrective lenses.

The technology uses algorithms to alter an image based on a person’s glasses prescription together with a light filter set in front of the display. The algorithm alters the light from each individual pixel so that, when fed through a tiny hole in the plastic filter, rays of light reach the retina in a way that re-creates a sharp image. Researchers say the idea is to anticipate how your eyes will naturally distort whatever’s onscreen—something glasses or contacts typically correct—and adjust it beforehand so that what you see appears clear.

Cool. It would be nice to ditch my glasses while at the computer.

I agree that would be cool.
