"That vision mechanism comes at a price — bees’ eyes have extremely low resolution, so their vision is very blurred. Nilsson calls this design “the most stupid way of using the space available for an eye.”"
The article forgets that the compound eye allows bees to have a much higher "frame rate" per "pixel" than a human eye ever could have.
- TheZenPsycho 13y agothere's also the whole thing where a compound eye enables the capture of a full light field, e.g. like the Lytro camera which uses a "plenoptic" system to capture image data that can be re-focused or used to create 3D images after being taken. Which rather implies that a bee has a full 360 degree constant 3D model of its environment, but without the heavy memory and processing requirements needed in human vision to get that.
