Bionic Eyes
from the restoring-sight dept
Some researchers may have figured out the trick to creating a "bionic eye" that could be used in helping blind people see. They're still a long way off from making something that is actually functional, but it appears some breakthroughs have been made - so that at least people think it's possible. Maybe they should team up with Professor Makoto Asashima in Japan who is working on ways to grow eyeballs and you could have a very Blade Runner-like eyeball production center. Of course, if you're going to build bionic eyes, you have to wonder if they'll be able to add "extra" features, like the ability for the eye to double as computer monitor for your head.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
