CYBORGS!

[Ryuukazi]

Oh my god, it's Biochip Interface!

Next they'll make a time machine called Pegasus.

[Rayz093]

How will they feel when an EMP strikes? circuit over load with high AMP, Poof, end of the story

[Blacklemon67a]

@Rayz093 well we should just give up trying to help the blind, then?

[Rayz093]

@Blacklemon67a Wrong, you should work harder to prevent the things i've just mentioned to happen! =_=

[BillGates111studio]

Now I can finally watch the video that comes with!

[inquistire]

This is awesome! I hope it becomes ready soon. This is really a amazing advancement.

[smokeb3atz]

dumb ass youtube adds

[VeryFastKid]

BRILLIANT!!! this looks so great and full of potential!

[dharmanova]

this is frighteningly far from "restoring sight", alas. To do that properly one needs an eyeball with (motor nerves intact. And these motor nerves have to be backfed into the artificial imaging scanner (initiating saccades , etc. when necessesary.

Most tricky part would be to perfectly align the artificial electronic retina (placed on the eyeball) with retinotopic nerve formations (axon to electrode). This is likely 2 centuries away. We need superior organ growing tech and computer tech.

[Taiwanhiphop]

@dharmanova ur being too hard on tech man, I bet you in this decade it will be done. tech always catches up faster than you think!

i'm jealous of asia. now there's someplace i'm jealous of.

[justinwoon92]

[XxPainIsOnlyAWordxX]

lol i had an idea to hook up a small video cmera onto the eye area and have it wire into your brain of coruse that probably wouldve blwon up in my face considering id have no idea wear to wire it into the brain O_o... lol

[martinlarsen20]

to be blind is the worst thing that can ever happen to a person.

i hope i never will become blind.

[LostInMadness220]

Any way to make it smaller like cell phones. Star Trek had a blind guy that had glasses that went around his head, i wouldnt mind that to become a reality.

[Ahya728]

damn, a gadget implanted inside our head? ahhhhh shit

[maltadrift]

now if there was an emp blast you would have to get surgery to remove the busted as techology in your face

[CrazyUberix]

its like METAL GEAR SOLID SNAKE with SOLID EYE from MGS4

[aeropostale1023]

Dude i would feel like a robot.

[MrLouloukos]

dude you would feel great

[Cheeseitnow]

Epic.

[andrue123456]

if you were blind how could u watch this video lol

[dairycow]

if you were blind why would you even be on the computer? XD

[rickballance]

To surf the internet.

Blind people usually got Stephen-Hawking-Like readers that read them out loud everything on the webpage.

[soulstrumxxx]

this is fantastic!

[Jamesen666]

i rather would stay blind and live in my imagined world then being able to see 10x10 black or white squares...

it's a good start but needs to be improved. people would go nuts only seeing like this i guess

[aeropostale1023]

lol thats prob what it looks like on the computer, not in the persons eyes

[rbairos1]

I think youd be happy to at least get a rough grid as opposed to solid blackness. You could at least tell where people were moving, etc. You would feel much more connected to the environment you are in.

[SupportTheBlind]

Is it on sale. I would love to get one of these.

[hexpinteas]

Do this works on people who were born blind?

[timma797]

ya it does

[hexpinteas]

My friend Nick will be very happy to hear that.

Thanks.

[timma797]

ya i've been looking up on this thing alot, and it has even been tested on news anchors and people that have been blind for 25 years. This one guy they had try it and he said that when he was a kid he loved to play cards "so what do they do, They set him up with this thing and he was able to tell them the number and suit of the cards, it's very bazzare but a very unique amazing project! :D

[hexpinteas]

Now my friend and I can watch movies together withou me telling him what's going on!

HE'LL LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

Hey can you keep this on until I show it to him?
