Wow! Really really good news. My only question right now is when the patient closes their eyes and fall asleep then they dream, does this device also can see and record the patient's dreams? Just curious.........
OKAY, and when can i buy this? primitive question, but quite important. I find everywhere fantastic solutions for blind people, just nobody knows how and when to get it. without a chance to have one it's only a rumour...
@Neoli2300 thank you for your answer. it's quite a long time even though the project exists since almost 10 years. :( for example BrainPort's relase (wicab inc) was promised for 2010. nothing happened. i see that few people use this system with good results, that's too bad that my daughter isn't belonging to them.
@PLAlfa thats what they're saying. for the moment at least, people have a limited sense of vision while using the technology. The currently implanted model allows for 60 electrodes. They are however working on 1,000 electrodes which will be available and the technology will be mainstream as laser eye surgery is today, by 2019. However, it wont be until the 2020s where high-quality and colour will be available and an estimated 2032 until it exceeds natural vision.
@Neoli2300 aim total sure that the progres could be faster ,,but evrything is about money and that is not the best buisnes in the world.. for amercans it took only 7 years from an idea to implementation of getting to the moon....... wish i
@PLAlfa going to the moon was funded by the government. This isn't and so relies on profits. If the government were to fund this then I think it will be mainstream by 2015-16 but the problem is that the government has no great motivation as in the cold war. However, you come up with a couple million dollars to donate to the doheney(?) eye institute then ill calp for u.
@Neoli2300 i have a question, Specifically for what would be used that couple of million dollars?
I think its true the governments see these researches like business and thats one reason why i think the monetary system slows down research, development and distribution.

@egocenter prototype of 1000 electrode around 2016, commercialisation 2019-early 2020s. Full vision restoration early 2030s.
