Panoptes and the Bionic Eye: A New Learning Approach with AR

Vision is the primary sensory modality for many organisms, and biological visual systems have long inspired engineering innovations. Understanding how vision is processed in the mammalian nervous system has led to groundbreaking advancements in bionic eye technology and robotic vision systems.

In our new approach, Augmented Reality (AR) enhances this learning experience by providing interactive, 3D visualizations of biological and artificial visual systems. AR enables students to analyze how visual information is captured, processed, and interpreted in both natural and engineered systems, fostering a deeper, hands-on understanding of bio-inspired design (Venkatesen et al., 2021).
