		<description><![CDATA[Extracted from [1],
The newest computer vision technology can&#8217;t literally see through your sweater and slacks, but it can determine the shape of your unclad body.
Brown University computer scientists have developed software that takes ordinary images of people dressed in street clothes and digitally peels away the layers to determine their 3-D body shape.
In a partnership [...]]]></description>

		<title>Artificial eyeball does away with distorted images</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found this interesting article [1] at NewScientistTech written by Kurt Kleiner. They have a nice approach to create a curved digital sensor (spherical) mostly using conventional photolithography. There can be endless applications since this will help to get wide-angle but less distorted images from a small camera. Also the author suggests, these can be [...]]]></description>
