US scientists develop implantable electronic eye has entered the stage of prototype demo (1)

MIT scientists are developing a retinal implant device, this device is implanted to replace the blind eyes of damaged cells, directly to the brain send visual signal, currently this equipment research and development has entered into its final testing stage.

Patients receive implantation surgery, you also need to wear a pair of specially crafted "lenses", "this kind of glasses lenses" device are connected to the camera, the camera will put the video information is sent to the implantation of microchip in the eye, and then from these chips convert data to neural signals to the brain. Of course this kind of programme and normal human eye's imaging capabilities also has a large gap, but meet the blind are indoor mobile demand is no problem.
