In recent discoveries, a shrimp living on Australia's Great Barrier Reef may be the key to developing and super high-quality DVD player. These Mantis shrimp have a pair of the most complex eye in the animal kingdom and have the ability to see in 12 primary colors (four times as many as humans). The remarkable method that these shrimp use in their eyes to process the way light travels through may hold the key to new DVD technology.
I think its quite fascinating that something this interesting would be found in nature. I don't think anybody could have guessed that the key to better DVD technology would be in the eyes of shrimp from the Australian Great Barrier Reef. Scientists stated that these shrimp's eye process colors the same way a DVD does, the only difference is a DVD can only do this effectively with one color while the shrimp's does it with 12. That said, this breakthrough leaves much room for improvement in DVD technology.
