The bane of having to wear eye vision correcting glasses may actually have come to an end. If you need to wear glasses to read, you may be very interested in the new generation of gadgets that offer vision correcting displays. University of California – Berkeley researchers are coming up with display screens that compensate for a viewer’s visual impairments.

In other words the gadget creates sharper images that can be seen by a visually impaired person without having to wear eye glasses or contact lenses. The new generation of display can be easily transferred to gadgets such as smartphone, tablets, and computer screens. With some further research they may even be able to help people with more severe visual impairments.

The prototype of the vision correcting display was created in collaboration between researchers at University of California – Berkeley  and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The algorithm was developed by the former while the physical device for manufactured by the latter.

While these displays are a far cry from being available in the next smart phone that you purchase, the potential of the product is mind staggering. A whole lot more research is going to be done in this science project before it can be anywhere near ready for commercial production.
