      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.

      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 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.

    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

    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.
