Microchip in the Eye Seeks to Restore Vision

It'll be even more awesome in a few decades when the tech's improved beyond the just enough sight™ stage of development.

Still, very impressive. I'd love to see an approximate image and comparison of what the "user" sees using these do-whackies.

What good is restored vision if all you can see is dust?

Oh yeah, _World Wide_ Web. ;)
We only had early 90s 3D game class field of vision for a couple of hours. Unusual, but meh. Would have been more fun if it started raining mud.

This one Patro? La cité des enfants perdus
Nooo, but looks interesting.

Also, I wonder if the microchip in the eye can run Cocoa Touch applications: Bionic eye

Position in queue? 5th. Only one copy. Hopefully I get it soon. :)

Let me know how it is Moofin and I'll try to track it down in the land of red dust. Emphasis on try there.

Hmm, maybe the uni library.

I don't think I can explain it without spoilers, but there are definitely scenes relevant to the bionic eye discussion in this thread.

I'll see if I can find time in my Busy Schedule (oh, I like the relevance of that acronym here) to hop on HL tomorrow. I wonder if they have it at Kinokuniya (I'll have to go and search, their site is icky) or Borders (not if the database their site uses is the same as their catalogue) though...
