The maker of the world’s first commercial artificial retina, which provides partial sight to people with a certain form of blindness, is launching a clinical trial for a brain implant designed to restore vision to more patients.

The company, Second Sight, is testing whether an array of electrodes placed on the surface of the brain can return limited vision to people who have gone partially or completely blind. For decades, scientists have been trying to develop brain implants to give sight back to the blind but have had limited success. If the Second Sight device works, it could help millions of blind patients worldwide, including those who have lost one or both eyes.

Mit Microsofts App Seeing AI sollen es Blinde im Alltag einfacher haben: Die App erkennt unter anderem Text, Objekte und sogar Szenen und liest das Gesehene vor. Dafür muss der Nutzer lediglich ein Foto schießen.


Eine neue, experimentelle App von Microsoft soll es Blinden ermöglichen, ihre Umgebung besser wahrzunehmen. Seeing AI erkennt auf einem Foto, das der Nutzer von seiner Umgebung macht, Objekte, Personen, Text oder auch Bargeld.

Sonia Ng's curator insight, March 20, 2016 6:12 AM

I think it is very creative and innovative. "A 3D printed version of the Noah’s Ark story allows children to feel the raindrops, the texture of the boat, the waves."This way kids who are visually impaired can still get a chance to 'see' the world.They can experience things like we do and they can get a chance to visualize in their minds what things are like.Although it may be quite thick and heavy to carry around  as they are 3D raised pictures,i think it is a nice thing for the visually impaired children to have as they get to a chance to read picture books like normal children.It will not be heavy as these 3D raised pictures can be printed on any surface and parents can choose the lighter books for convenience sake.However it will be thick as the 3D raised pictures have to bulge out for the visually impaired children to read.I think it is worth it as the visually impaired children get a chance to have a normal reading experience with picture books this way.

Scientists at University College London have successfully transplanted photoreceptor cells into blind eyes, thus maybe finding a method for curing blindness
Gust MEES's insight:

 

Watch the video above to see how the process works. The lab-grown photoreceptor cells are planted into the eyes of mice, where they successfully connect with nerves that send visual signals to the brain. The scientists now hope to replicate this process in humans.

New Orcam device turns the world into speech for the blind

New Orcam device turns the world into speech for the blind | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
From israel21c.org - October 25, 2013 4:59 AM
OrCam is based on artificial intelligence and special algorithms built into a tiny computer that clips onto your eyeglasses.

 

Wearing an OrCam device clipped to her glasses, Negrin — who works for the company — can now do the smallest things that sighted people take for granted.


Just by pointing her finger at objects and listening to the device read the words and numbers, she can hand over money at the store without fear of being shortchanged. She can easily step on the right bus as it approaches her stop. And she can “read” the ingredients labels on products at the supermarket.


Costing about the same as a good hearing aid, the OrCam device is able to identify thousands of objects, including the faces of loved ones, dogs, buses, newspaper text and store signs, all with the point of the finger. Its voice system transmits the information to the wearer’s ear.
