A bionic eye

A company in Australia has built what could be a the first bionic eye. “It consists of a miniature camera mounted on glasses that captures visual input, transforming it into electrical signals that directly stimulate surviving neurons in the retina. The implant will enable recipients to perceive points of light in the visual field that the brain can then reconstruct into an image.” The above quote is from their press release. It is amazing what cool new technology is in development around the world.
