A Bionic Eye Invented; It Might Not Work

Australia, in a move to extend it's 15:00 minutes (remember this?) has invested 39 million dollars to the project of creating a 'Bionic Eye'.

The creation is said to be the biggest step for the blind since Braile.

It consists of a miniature camera, mounted on glasses, that captures images and sends them to a processor the wearer keeps in their pocket.

The processor then transmits a signal wirelessly to a unit implanted in the eye which will directly stimulate surviving neurons in the retina, signalling an image to the brain.

Sounds like it won't work cool, but Tick, Tock Australia...
