There is now a bionic eye that can make out blury objects. "Richard Barrett, who had a retinal implant four years ago, says he can now 'perceive objects' thanks to his bionic eye and is looking forward to 'more progressnp,'" said flipboard. This is a invention that will help a the human race with not having to supply blind people with diffret things like: walkways, guard dogs, and walking sticks. This invention keeps people intune with the world. "People who suffer from severe visual impairment as a result of retinitis pigmentosa have been able to make out objects and even read letters with the help of a retinal implant, according to the British Journal of Ophthalmology" said flipboard. Now they can get a job and provide for themselves. This retinal implant might become a better eye than the biologicalones you were born with.
The technology is there for the eye to work, but we need the neurological connection between the brain and the machine. "The bionic eye, called Argus II, works with a small camera on glasses which films the scene in front of the person" said flipboard. The camara is a great use in technology. The camara part of the machene is easy. "The video is processed by a unit attached to the glasses and it transforms the messages to the glasses," said flipboard. The way the light travels, we are seeing it backwards and our eyes have to flip the light so we can perceive the world. Also, this a cool look for people.
