A group of Australians researchers from Monash University develops bionic (bionic) eyes that have no need for the human eye system.
In an effort to restore sight to the blind, the researchers εργάζονται σε ένα σύστημα που απαιτεί 11 μικρά tiles που θα εμφυτευθούν σε διάφορα μέρη του εγκεφάλου και τα οποία θα λαμβάνουν και θα επεξεργάζονται signalthose related to visual stimuli.
Each tile will contain 43 electrodes that will aim to stimulate the brain with electrical signals in an attempt to create dots of light, similar to an imagedata, which are like those produced by healthy eyes.
These tiles will create a total of 500 pixels photo. Healthy eyes can create 1.000.000 with 2.000.000 pixels.
While the bionic eyes they will not be as healthy, they will make life easier for the blind because they will produce a crude image. Researchers report that the images produced will resemble the images produced by it John Baird's televisor the 1920.
Η τεχνολογία βασίζεται σε μια σειρά από γυαλιά που περιέχουν μια ψηφιακή φωτογραφική μηχανή, ένα αισθητήρα κίνησης των ματιών, ένα ψηφιακό επεξεργαστή και ένα wireless transmitter. The camera will move similarly to a healthy eye, using a sensor through the glasses to detect eye movement and adjust the camera accordingly.
The signal will then be processed and transmitted wirelessly to the tiles located within the brain in order to create a rough image of the data.

1. Outside the glasses - digital camera
2. Inside the glasses - eye movement sensor will direct the camera
3. Frame of glasses - digital processor and wireless transmitter
4. Brain implant - small implants under the skull will receive signals wirelessly and instantly stimulate the visual cortex of the brain
The main goal of this technology is to help the blind become more independent and to regain a basic visual capability, but that does not mean that it will not even affect those with perfect vision as the technology logically continually improves. Currently, researchers are in the process of finding volunteers willing to submit to the experimental process.
