Any future tech you'd like to see featured on WTF? Let me know in the replies!

On the one hand: It's amazing technology. On the other hand: After watching this video I really appreciate my healthy eyes.

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

This is so amazing Glad to see technology getting used for the right purposes

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.

It’s just a start. One day blind folks can see images in 4k. 👼🏼

That's where i want my taxes to go!

This is so amazing! This gives me hope that I will see again one day.

Retina replacement based on digital camera technology would be interesting. If nothing else simple contrast detection of varying colors of your choice.

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.

Now I hope that we can work on some optic nerve repair

It's gonna help a lots of blind people

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 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.

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 .

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!

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

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

This is great! God speed to the researchers working on this breakthrough device.

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.

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.

Good luck, you guys, with your ongoing procedures and experiments 💜

I know about cochlear implants for hearing impaired. I always wondered if the same process would work for visually impaired

This is awesome. Anything that can be conceived can be achieved. Great job.

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.

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

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.

How about first perfecting the technology and the artificial vision and then thinking about putting and unnecessary addition like thermal imaging.

Share whom to contact for that or bionic eye surgery .need immediate assistance please

Is there any other informations about this as i just found this video only

Could you make update regarding this video?

Please send me more informations about Retina replacement based on this technology , Thanks,

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.

Pls let me know where can we get the glasses. It is needed for my student

That's something that I can definitely sopport

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

Artificial vision glasses are amazing.

What video codec does the brain use?

Well explained and detailed

Does it hlp diabetic retinopathy blindness patients too???

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.

Anything for RP patient?

My kid have WFS1 Gene problem, Doctor says he might loose his eyesight. Does this system helps him ?

Defund the military and fund this technology

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

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.

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

I am THROUGHLY impressed

Great video! I use it to teach English! Maybe subtitles could be available?

I would love one of these.

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.

Is there a chip that connects back all yr nerves should you be come disable in an accident ???

*Few years later* Blind people have cyborg eagle eyed vision can see an intruder miles away + capability of zooming in and out.

from where can i bye it

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

But can it be done if you have had sezuries all you life but they are under control

Why's the resolution so low on these? How does the neural interface work? Like can you beamform a signal to the neurons instead of directly contacting them so you can increase precision?

Please Reply:::---- Can it cure Optic Nerve Atrophy And how can we contact and meet the related doctors?? Please Reply!

Imagine this tech in the future allowing you to zoom in and enhance far away imagery or directly enabling you to have night vision 😯

This is impressive

Hello. 3:15 - 3:20. Is that what they can see ?

Kind of freaky but cool at the same time.

What do the users really see with this system? Patterns of black and white dots or the objects as we all see?

Can this be used on people blind since birth?

My mother is totally blind since 2002, eyes cornia is ok but her nerves of eyes is dried, is any posibility to come back her eyes through?

My son lost his both eyes due to retinoblastoma. Is this technique help him or not?

God bless the creators of this product.youre amazing🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩

Hello I became blind around October 2018 The cost was by herpes in the eye love infection I don’t know this might be right for me yet and I keep hearing people can see but they can’t seem normal like everything so my question is will this be available like a normal vision like maybe a year or something because I’m getting sick of this blindness like I love all the technology I was in virtual reality before all this and I can’t do anything like this and it drives me crazy i’m messaging you by my voice over on my iPhone

Do somebody know how much cost?

Can they get images like the ones we see

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.

Wow amazing. Hope i get one soon

Hi My father was blind from 2 years.. May I know hospital name and place,

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

is it done yet?

How do the imgaes look like

This is unbelievable

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..

How to get it??

How much cost this divice

Hello sir ...I am from India ....I want to buy this eye machine .....how can it possible......

How to get

In the future, you could give people like this 360 Night or Thermal Vision

Howmuch isit ? Can I buy I'm From the Philipanes ? Thank you ...

Excellent discovery

Erickson's in Spokane,Wa told me very dangerous😳

it's basically a minecraft observer connected with your brain

This invention is greatest

How much cost sir please

Hi. If someone hasn't eyelids ,can he still see ?

Does it work for people with advanced glaucoma, cataracts or other failing visual diseases?

Blindness is a terrible affliction. I seriously wish I could win the lottery to donate to research

Very good

How much

Cool..they got something to see

Sir how much price this device

osea que vga es como 8k para ellos....
