BlindSight

BlindSight is a contact lens with a built-in nano-camera that sends streaming video to a computer chip implanted in the occipital lobe of a blind person. The camera moves as the body moves or as the eye roves side-to-side. BlindSight will also retrieve memories and pictures that are stored in the frontal lobes of those who lost sight.
