Glasses That May Help the Blind See

This article presents an invention that is reported as a step towards allowing blind people to see. The invention is compared to that of a fictional invention in the television show Star Trek. In the show the character, Geordi La Forge wore a ‘visor’ that was much smaller and did not require any wires or additional pieces. The claims of the report are that digital images received by a set of lenses or a visor “would then be transmitted wirelessly from the glasses to a small implant in the wearer’s brain, which would stimulate the visual cortex to let the person “see” what the glasses are pointed at”.

The supporting evidence that this invention is a legitimate breakthrough and not a hoax is presented in a video.  The video shows how the cameras and technology works theoretically, and includes interviews with reputable sources from the Monash Vision Group which is based out of Monash University in Melbourne, Austrailia. The Monash Vision Group are the developers of the project.

This technological feat is being made possible by the combined efforts of Monash University, Grey Innovations, The Alfred Health, and MiniFab. These groups are behind the design, integration and manufacture of polymer micro and nano-engineered systems for the Biotech and allows for the development of this groundbreaking technology.
