Any future tech you'd like to see featured on WTF? Let me know in the replies!
How about something related to flying cars / autonomous drones.
Any tech that helps people, thanks!
Working on similar in Kazakhstan. Holla please to connect
something about neuralink!!
An automatic driving vehicle for the blind, people
On the one hand: It's amazing technology. On the other hand: After watching this video I really appreciate my healthy eyes.
Relatively speaking, the day is not far off when people will be having their own healthy normal eyes electively replaced with superior Borg eyeball replacements.
That and Elon Musk must have copied a lot of technologies this to make his neural implant.
John mera bhai
My “healthy” eyes lmao.
You bet!
My wife was diagnosed two years ago with degenerative blindness retinitis pigmentosa.
Doctors say she’ll completely loose her site in about 7 to 10 years.
She’s 38 now.
This is the 1st real hope I’ve come across since her diagnosis.
Wow!
So emotional right now
There's a lot of developments around stem cell therapy for RP going on as well
@@renaulth2009 can you tell me the names of some videos updated about the RP stem cell progress?
This is so amazing
Glad to see technology getting used for the right purposes
Let's hope it stays this way the MILITARY and other organizations may think of ways to pervert this technology one day but I'm so happy for the people that will be able to see again one day ❤❤❤🥰
I am legally blind, I can tell you that you guys are just amazing and if you are successful then you are going to help humans a lot. God bless you guys
It's definitely a start. Sure, the technology has a lot of room for improvement, but it's an incredible first effort.
I wish they'd develop this so it automatically adjust focus, brightness and contrast like a normal eye does and probably make it so it doesn't require an invasive surgery. Also a better camera resolution. I really wish this would be available to all the visually impaired people once they're improved.
That's where i want my taxes to go!
but we need more fighter jets /s
@@shyne5928 tbh this would be 100% better since people who can see more can fight more
Just imagine a blind soldier that can see everything
@@abluecircle7753 yeah i put a sarcastic tone indicator there. i agree :)
Yes
I agree, also into nanotech medicine, and NASA and SPACE X and Blue Origin.
Retina replacement based on digital camera technology would be interesting. If nothing else simple contrast detection of varying colors of your choice.
It’s just a start. One day blind folks can see images in 4k. 👼🏼
Everybody gangsta until it says TARGET LOCKED
i'm actually excited about the possibilities for this sort of stuff use for Virtual reality. I always imagined the ideal virtual reality would work even for the blind.
I agree, though I'm confused why they didn't try to stimulate the nerves behind the eyes instead of the the brain directly. Seems like an obvious approach unless all those nerves are dead on a blind person.
This is so amazing! This gives me hope that I will see again one day.
Wait. No offence but how did you type if you cant see? Sorry, im just a bit curious.
I use a screen reading software on my smart phone
@@hardiantosyukri6942 There's already a bunch of tech for the blind to help us do everyday stuff. But I can't imagine what the future will get us.
I pary and hope you do 😇🙏 God bless you and your family
How many fingers is this ✌?
It's gonna help a lots of blind people
Now I hope that we can work on some optic nerve repair
Aren't they working with stem cells?
You go Kevin!
Alot of people are studying it, but if they can reroute brain to get visual vision again then people are able to live with artificial eyes as well, thats why more people researching brain implant than optic nerve repair
@@Shen7695 Would you dare to predict how far are we from artificial ayes wich allow a good sight replacement?
Alberto we are still very far indeed but the test and researches are having results like patient able to see patterns or unclear images, hopefully once we got a breakthrough on the brain side, we are able to have good vision from artificial eyes.
On the other hand optic nerve repair with stem cells have shown little result, the reason is mainly because they need someone which is not fully blind yet to take part in the research and rarely people will take the risk to do so when their vision is still functioning although not that well
I really hope something like this becomes available in my lifetime. I definitely would be up for trialling it, if it ever came to the UK.
Been following this tech's evolution for over a decade now. Glad to see they're finally adopting the straight-to-brain implants.
After some "resolution upgrades", I hope they start working on stereo-view variations.
I absolutely love the innovation here. Keep up the great work! :)
I appreciate and respect these guys. You can feel it in their voices that they hot beautiful souls. All the blessings. As an engineer I'm inspired
This is fascinating! I have the opposite problem. Apparently I can see, but my brain isn’t able to translate what I am seeing. It’s interesting to learn how complex vision really is. I’m so happy there are opportunities out there for other visually impaired individuals to have the chance to see in such a unique way!
This is great! God speed to the researchers working on this breakthrough device.
This gives me hope my older brother can see one day , as a child I didn’t realize how sad it is for him not to see .
what an amazing gift to give a sightless person, I hope a major break through happens that would allow a person to see in color as well clear images
Can’t wait to use it one day. I’d wait until it’s been perfected to the level that further hardware upgrades will not be necessary. Though software upgrades will always be welcome.
Good luck, you guys, with your ongoing procedures and experiments 💜
Can’t believe this was two years ago… never heard anything about this. Amazing technology. Imagine what we’ll have for the blind in 100 years? It will be amazing.
Well explained and detailed
That's something that I can definitely sopport
this is possiblity i wish i could get my hands of one of these and its patent or blueprints and work on new idee for this thing is brilliant
This is awesome. Anything that can be conceived can be achieved. Great job.
I would love one of these.
I know about cochlear implants for hearing impaired. I always wondered if the same process would work for visually impaired
I need this for outdoors and to see labels and areas outside. It’s frustrating to have low vision especially whe. You weren’t born with low vision.
Artificial vision glasses are amazing.
Wow amazing. Hope i get one soon
I came here to get an idea for what can I do for blind people in the course of learning electronics but after watching this insane complexity of bioengineering, I am figuring out some other way.
Would it be possible to see the other spectrums of light with this? Though our brains probably don’t know how to handle that information. Just imagine being blind for your whole life, only to be able to see more colours than a regular person. That sounds so sick. I hope it’s possible.
Very good
I am THROUGHLY impressed
It would be interesting to see if light wavelengths invisible to humans would be possible to visualize via tech that connects to visual cortex. See in ultra violet or infrared or a combination.
This is impressive
Please send me more informations about Retina replacement based on this technology , Thanks,
Wow artificial vision what a breakthrough now I know there’s hope for me if I ever face gone blind thank you very much for this keeps hurting me more please
Could you make update regarding this video?
Excellent discovery
Great video! I use it to teach English! Maybe subtitles could be available?
Imagine this tech in the future allowing you to zoom in and enhance far away imagery or directly enabling you to have night vision 😯
Cool..they got something to see
I wonder if they would use Shelia Nuirberg's Video encoder equations in the video processor that 60 channels may be enough resolution. The encoded stimulation pattern would better match what would be coming from the optic nerve. Since the retinal stimulation is neural encoded before being transmitted by the optic nerve to the brain.

Can this be used on people blind since birth?
How about first perfecting the technology and the artificial vision and then thinking about putting and unnecessary addition like thermal imaging.
This is unbelievable
God bless the creators of this product.youre amazing🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩
Share whom to contact for that or bionic eye surgery .need immediate assistance please
Pls let me know where can we get the glasses. It is needed for my student
I hope there will be more research on the artificial intelligence of visual impairment. I have done research and asked many questions but I got not certain questions so I am on a roller coaster to finding solutions and cures for my vision.
Anything for RP patient?
Kind of freaky but cool at the same time.
Does it hlp diabetic retinopathy blindness patients too???
This invention is greatest
awsome
Is there any other informations about this as i just found this video only
that's cool
These people are doing some incredible work. This is the groundwork for truly bionic vision. There are many approaches. You could hijack the current retina, even retinas that have very low photoreceptor function. You could, as they have done here, hijack the primary visual cortex.
Eventually we'll get to the point where a bunch of electrodes over the visual cortex that is able to deliver depth and colour information, as well as motion. It's only a matter of time and these lot are doing incredible work.
I know, as my eyes age, as my eyes loose the great sight I had as a child and young adult. That vision is precious. That many go through incredible losses of vision. These approaches will own day ensure all of us can have some sort of vision, if not perfect vision late into life. We should fund this like crazy
In the future, you could give people like this 360 Night or Thermal Vision
Great
I want this I need this.
What video codec does the brain use?
My kid have WFS1 Gene problem, Doctor says he might loose his eyesight. Does this system helps him ?
Does it work for people with advanced glaucoma, cataracts or other failing visual diseases?
Diseases of the eyes are what this device will work for. It won't work for degenerative diseases of the cortical centre or perhaps other parts of the brain.
If it works, it should. Those problems are with the eyeballs, if the optic nerves are still there and working though, this could feed them information to interpret.
Back in the 1960s (I think), they had a device that strapped to your back. You had a camera on a headband. And a matrix of rounded pins in a pad on your back. The image was communicated as pressure on pins. Initially, it felt like someone drawing a happy face on your back with their finger. Then at some point, after constant use, it automatically switched to a visual image, whereby if someone threw a ball in your direction, you would duck. I wonder why that non-invasive technology was never commercially developed.
is it done yet?
from where can i bye it
After watching this vedio i am hoping that i will be able to see the beautiful world soon. 😊😊😊😊😊
@AHAMED S i watch this with the help of voice over
First step is to use light digital helmet or glasses to send directions to one ear of the patient..this is easier than working with sensitive human nerves , Like this noble efforts..and to the researchers working on this human aspect..
Hi
Is it accessible for retinopathy of prematurely stage five
She is four years old and attended for multiple eyes surgeries resulting retinal reattach and good light perception
WTF amazing
Where We fixed tha bionic eyes
I am India please tell me
Bionic eye treatments where the are
And any side effects in this technique
Cool
How do the imgaes look like
hi,I have my son with retinopathy of prematurity, born at 33.4 weeks with 2.1 kg weight. what r options for him.he has grade 5 retinopathy of prematurity
Erickson's in Spokane,Wa told me very dangerous😳
Do somebody know how much cost?
This is so amazing
Blindness is a terrible affliction. I seriously wish I could win the lottery to donate to research
Hello sir ...I am from India ....I want to buy this eye machine .....how can it possible......
How to get it??
Hello. 3:15 - 3:20. Is that what they can see ?
I've had this idea for like 6 years 😒 should have patent it..
Can they get images like the ones we see
Is there a chip that connects back all yr nerves should you be come disable in an accident ???
My son lost his both eyes due to retinoblastoma. Is this technique help him or not?
How much cost this divice
Can they do one for glaucoma patients
What do the users really see with this system? Patterns of black and white dots or the objects as we all see?
How to get
I suspect there will soon be a non-intrusive solution, almost similar to how artificial limbs will send signals through the nerves.
But can it be done if you have had sezuries all you life but they are under control
How much cost sir please
Next is visor from startrek & nearly the same side effects!
Hi. If someone hasn't eyelids ,can he still see ?
