This is an excerpt from an episode of "spectrum: NET International Science Magazine", a television documentary series produced by the National Educational Television Network. This episode is entitled "Experimental Biology: New Sight for the Blind" and aired sometime during 1964-1965. The excerpt presented here is from 04:55 through 09:48 of the original show. Main personnel shown here are Jim Bliss (the researcher) and Candy Linvill (the research subject). Note that as of this film, the technology for the Optacon camera had not yet been developed, and the images projected to the tactile array were being generated by computer.
