Building the next generation of 3-dimensional imaging

Scientists are finding ways to improve pictures to better align with the way our eyes see them. University of Arizona associate professor of Optical Sciences Florian Willomitzer explains how it can make images seem clearer and more detailed, and why that's important for fields like medicine and engineering.

Florian Willomitzer spoke with Tim Swindle, professor emeritus in Planetary Science at the University of Arizona.
