‘The aim for this vision prosthetic is to be at least equivalent to a seeing-eye dog or a white cane,’ said team leader Professor Arthur Lowery.

‘While it would initially complement existing aids such as these, we believe the device eventually will replace them, and as the technology is further refined, become sufficiently sensitive to discriminate large print.

‘The microchips we are testing will be implanted directly on the surface of a patient’s visual cortex, located at the back of the brain. It’s estimated that each patient will receive a grid of up to 14 eight-by-eight millimetre tiles.’

Each tile, he explained, comprises a four-by-four millimetre microchip with some 500,000 transistors and 45 hair-thin electrodes.

Wonder if this means people blinded by their own stupidity can now see how stupid they are?

This is more "think Google Glasses" and Implant to the rear of the eye. Interesting read as my brother is blind from an injury he sustained.

Personally though, I prefer him blind.

So much in so, this is on the news here, so I told him to "watch" the news......

Yes I'm going to hell.

I don't think we've been introduced, I'm Conagh, a heartless, hateful person that enjoys tormenting my brother!

Seriously though, him being blind chilled him out, prior he was a Psychopath, but this isderailing FAR too soon.
