Any future tech you'd like to see featured on WTF? Let me know in the replies!
How about something related to flying cars / autonomous drones.
Any tech that helps people, thanks!
Working on similar in Kazakhstan. Holla please to connect
something about neuralink!!
An automatic driving vehicle for the blind, people
On the one hand: It's amazing technology. On the other hand: After watching this video I really appreciate my healthy eyes.
Relatively speaking, the day is not far off when people will be having their own healthy normal eyes electively replaced with superior Borg eyeball replacements.
That and Elon Musk must have copied a lot of technologies this to make his neural implant.
John mera bhai
My “healthy” eyes lmao.
You bet!
I am legally blind, I can tell you that you guys are just amazing and if you are successful then you are going to help humans a lot. God bless you guys
That's where i want my taxes to go!
but we need more fighter jets /s
@@shyne5928 tbh this would be 100% better since people who can see more can fight more
Just imagine a blind soldier that can see everything
@@abluecircle7753 yeah i put a sarcastic tone indicator there. i agree :)
Yes
I agree, also into nanotech medicine, and NASA and SPACE X and Blue Origin.
Retina replacement based on digital camera technology would be interesting. If nothing else simple contrast detection of varying colors of your choice.
This is so amazing
Glad to see technology getting used for the right purposes
Let's hope it stays this way the MILITARY and other organizations may think of ways to pervert this technology one day but I'm so happy for the people that will be able to see again one day ❤❤❤🥰
Been following this tech's evolution for over a decade now. Glad to see they're finally adopting the straight-to-brain implants.
After some "resolution upgrades", I hope they start working on stereo-view variations.
I really hope something like this becomes available in my lifetime. I definitely would be up for trialling it, if it ever came to the UK.
This gives me hope my older brother can see one day , as a child I didn’t realize how sad it is for him not to see .
what an amazing gift to give a sightless person, I hope a major break through happens that would allow a person to see in color as well clear images
This is fascinating! I have the opposite problem. Apparently I can see, but my brain isn’t able to translate what I am seeing. It’s interesting to learn how complex vision really is. I’m so happy there are opportunities out there for other visually impaired individuals to have the chance to see in such a unique way!
So what do u actually see then? If u don't mind me asking
@@haqembassador I am totally blind in my left eye. In my right I see light and some shadows if there is enough contrast.
@@Koda_Grey wait but u said ur eyes function but ur brain cannot process information?
@@haqembassador Right. I have under developed optic nerves. They are bring the visual information to the brain to become comprehensible. It also helps with light detection so that explains that. I had more vision as a child. My optic nerves became weaker and weaker until I lost almost everything when I was 12.
@@Koda_Grey so u got cvi?
It would be interesting to see if light wavelengths invisible to humans would be possible to visualize via tech that connects to visual cortex. See in ultra violet or infrared or a combination.
This is impressive
I wonder if they would use Shelia Nuirberg's Video encoder equations in the video processor that 60 channels may be enough resolution. The encoded stimulation pattern would better match what would be coming from the optic nerve. Since the retinal stimulation is neural encoded before being transmitted by the optic nerve to the brain.
Cool tech. But It appears far from being fully developed.
I've had this idea for like 6 years 😒 should have patent it..
God bless the creators of this product.youre amazing🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩
Please Reply:::---- Can it cure Optic Nerve Atrophy And how can we contact and meet the related doctors?? Please Reply!
En estos desarrollos tecnologicos, NO sobran las ideas. Pidan ideas a coloboradores desinteresados en todo el mundo. Seguramente habra muchos que lo hagan.
It will be an amazing day (I think it will happen hopefully within many of our lifetimes) when a bionic eye will become available that actually would be able to reproduce images as good or better than humans (with natural 20-20 vision). Maybe something even like the artificial eye that the character in that great TV show "The Bionic Man" had (being able to zoom in etc.).
Would be wild to have an artificial eye that could actually see in something like maybe 20-15 vision!
I imagine there are scientists working on it every day.
Eventually, I imagine technology could exist where anyone with ANY sort of vision issue - severe or not so severe - could with these implants potentially even see better than those with normal vision. That will be an interesting day :-)
Can they do one for glaucoma patients
The music makes me sad that unsolved is over 🙁
Hello sir ...I am from India ....I want to buy this eye machine .....how can it possible......
16 channels? Neuralink has 1,536
Very good
I hope there will be more research on the artificial intelligence of visual impairment. I have done research and asked many questions but I got not certain questions so I am on a roller coaster to finding solutions and cures for my vision.
Could you make update regarding this video?
Excellent discovery
and here i thought hair transplants would totally change my life.I mean,you'd really have to chose between seeing less than shadows or have some kind of plastic tube device thing shoved in the most gelatin-like part of your brain!,very controversial for the individual to decide
Is there any other informations about this as i just found this video only
Wow amazing. Hope i get one soon
Hi
My father was blind from 2 years..
May I know hospital name and place,
they should work with Elon musk and try the micro incision thing.. and with Nvidia VR technology to scan a wider area but focus on the middle only.
This means the camera sends the images directly to the implant? So even people that lost both eyes will see?
Tommy Edison, PLEASE!!!
Mine lags in live stream
that's cool
Bruh why they not doing this manipulate visions for such technology of VR. 😳
Hold on, let me up my gamma lol
How much cost sir please
Share whom to contact for that or bionic eye surgery .need immediate assistance please
Im blind with one eye and I really want this!
I have same problem too due to meningioma I may also use the second eye coz I have another tumor there
@@benjovionejma4848 that’s not cool bro ....... but i dont have a tumor in my eye
from where can i bye it
What do the users really see with this system? Patterns of black and white dots or the objects as we all see?
But can it be done if you have had sezuries all you life but they are under control
How much
The blind can see. Then he spat on the ground and made mud from the spittle and smoothed the mud over the blind man’s eyes, and told him, “Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam” (the word Siloam means “Sent”). So the man went where he was sent and washed and came back seeing! John 9.6,7 Miracles are God's free gift to the sick and dying who otherwise could never afford it.
Amém
How to buy this
Great
So damn tell us the sort of image the visually impaired person perceives-how does it compares with standard vision.
I'm blind in one eye and having visual impairment in the other from DR...where can I get this?
You need to go through surgery
It’s just a start. One day blind folks can see images in 4k. 👼🏼
Everybody gangsta until it says TARGET LOCKED
My wife was diagnosed two years ago with degenerative blindness retinitis pigmentosa.
Doctors say she’ll completely loose her site in about 7 to 10 years.
She’s 38 now.
This is the 1st real hope I’ve come across since her diagnosis.
Wow!
So emotional right now
There's a lot of developments around stem cell therapy for RP going on as well
@@renaulth2009 can you tell me the names of some videos updated about the RP stem cell progress?
Check aayurved in this case, she can be cure
It's definitely a start. Sure, the technology has a lot of room for improvement, but it's an incredible first effort.
I wish they'd develop this so it automatically adjust focus, brightness and contrast like a normal eye does and probably make it so it doesn't require an invasive surgery. Also a better camera resolution. I really wish this would be available to all the visually impaired people once they're improved.
This is so amazing! This gives me hope that I will see again one day.
Wait. No offence but how did you type if you cant see? Sorry, im just a bit curious.
I use a screen reading software on my smart phone
@@hardiantosyukri6942 There's already a bunch of tech for the blind to help us do everyday stuff. But I can't imagine what the future will get us.
I pary and hope you do 😇🙏 God bless you and your family
How many fingers is this ✌?
Defund the military and fund this technology
i'm actually excited about the possibilities for this sort of stuff use for Virtual reality. I always imagined the ideal virtual reality would work even for the blind.
I agree, though I'm confused why they didn't try to stimulate the nerves behind the eyes instead of the the brain directly. Seems like an obvious approach unless all those nerves are dead on a blind person.
Now I hope that we can work on some optic nerve repair
Aren't they working with stem cells?
You go Kevin!
Alot of people are studying it, but if they can reroute brain to get visual vision again then people are able to live with artificial eyes as well, thats why more people researching brain implant than optic nerve repair
@@Shen7695 Would you dare to predict how far are we from artificial ayes wich allow a good sight replacement?
Alberto we are still very far indeed but the test and researches are having results like patient able to see patterns or unclear images, hopefully once we got a breakthrough on the brain side, we are able to have good vision from artificial eyes.
On the other hand optic nerve repair with stem cells have shown little result, the reason is mainly because they need someone which is not fully blind yet to take part in the research and rarely people will take the risk to do so when their vision is still functioning although not that well
It's gonna help a lots of blind people
Curious about the implant itself. I'm wondering if Elon Musk company which is developing the new brain implant could be/is being used in conjunction with the device? I can see big things in the future.....uh-oh! Is that a train?
I know about cochlear implants for hearing impaired. I always wondered if the same process would work for visually impaired
I appreciate and respect these guys. You can feel it in their voices that they hot beautiful souls. All the blessings. As an engineer I'm inspired
Would it be possible to see the other spectrums of light with this? Though our brains probably don’t know how to handle that information. Just imagine being blind for your whole life, only to be able to see more colours than a regular person. That sounds so sick. I hope it’s possible.
*Few years later*
Blind people have cyborg eagle eyed vision can see an intruder miles away + capability of zooming in and out.
25 years later, blind people get 4k res vision in 120 fps.
I want a bionic eyes for my friend he loss his eye in an accedent.
Both eyes?
Hello Please help me English is second language and poor Please send me email doctor who can surgery bionic eye I living in Maine Thanky you
Unfortunately it doesnt work like that
I absolutely love the innovation here. Keep up the great work! :)
Hopefully Neuralink will solve the blindness problem of humanity.
Does it work for people with advanced glaucoma, cataracts or other failing visual diseases?
Diseases of the eyes are what this device will work for. It won't work for degenerative diseases of the cortical centre or perhaps other parts of the brain.
If it works, it should. Those problems are with the eyeballs, if the optic nerves are still there and working though, this could feed them information to interpret.
This is great! God speed to the researchers working on this breakthrough device.
I need this! I miss having vision but I know I won’t be able to regain it back and artificial intelligence is the only option.
how are you seeing the video
Prob using typing assistant
Or using something to help
Oh voice type
Technology is awesome but Keep in mind that even a nanosecond of miss handling while doing surgery could result in un repairable losses One may lost many other abilities along with the ability to see
After watching this vedio i am hoping that i will be able to see the beautiful world soon. 😊😊😊😊😊
@AHAMED S i watch this with the help of voice over
Can’t wait to use it one day. I’d wait until it’s been perfected to the level that further hardware upgrades will not be necessary. Though software upgrades will always be welcome.
I hope this project can be buy cause i want blind peaple to see i hope you distribute it in just fine amount of money cause not all blind peaple has money
Imagine being able to zoom whenever you want, THE FUTURE IS NOW!
Does it hlp diabetic retinopathy blindness patients too???
Can’t believe this was two years ago… never heard anything about this. Amazing technology. Imagine what we’ll have for the blind in 100 years? It will be amazing.
Howmuch isit ? Can I buy I'm From the Philipanes ? Thank you ...
Overseas? Yas yas. But it will be pricey 💵💵
Sword Art Online future?
Imagine this tech in the future allowing you to zoom in and enhance far away imagery or directly enabling you to have night vision 😯
When it will come to market any idea 💡, my nephew is blind 2 yrs old 😭
Aww man that sucks since she has lost her vision make her live amazing and always be there I couldn’t imagine being born without vision. Sending hope love and wishes that she gets her eye sight back someday due to future technology ❤️😇
God I wish I could gift this amazing device to my father in law so that he could see his grandchildren 🙏
it's basically a minecraft observer connected with your brain
"We are not only men of science: we are men of hope." - Dr. Jonas Venture
This and the Ocular Implant would give someone like Helen Keller a normal life
In the future, you could give people like this 360 Night or Thermal Vision
Can this be used on people blind since birth?
Anyone else thinking Elon's neuralink should buy this technology and integrate it?
Artificial vision glasses are amazing.
I need this for outdoors and to see labels and areas outside. It’s frustrating to have low vision especially whe. You weren’t born with low vision.
Back in the 1960s (I think), they had a device that strapped to your back. You had a camera on a headband. And a matrix of rounded pins in a pad on your back. The image was communicated as pressure on pins. Initially, it felt like someone drawing a happy face on your back with their finger. Then at some point, after constant use, it automatically switched to a visual image, whereby if someone threw a ball in your direction, you would duck. I wonder why that non-invasive technology was never commercially developed.
I came here to get an idea for what can I do for blind people in the course of learning electronics but after watching this insane complexity of bioengineering, I am figuring out some other way.
How about first perfecting the technology and the artificial vision and then thinking about putting and unnecessary addition like thermal imaging.
Experiments made by prof. Theodor Erismann of Innsbruck, Austria (1883-1961) have shown that people can ride bicycles and can ski after a short learning phase, with glasses that invert everything visible before them ("reversing mirrors").
Of course this is a different problem - you're dealing not with blind individuals. Nevertheless, it illustrates how much the brain is able to process, to adapt visual input. Subjects of those experiments have still seen single houses with the roofs pointing downward, a while after they had again removed such apparatuses. This means that our brains can, and indeed constantly do, most flexibly compose what we see.
I - being visually impaired only through a slight myopia - often watch strictly geometrical patterns visible before me when I have my eyes closed, still, in the morning while sunlight has begun to enter my apartment. Such patterns use to be accurately symmetrical over at least four axes. They're colored, and quickly transform in such a way as to always remain strictly concentric, as far as I'm able to tell.
Some purpose of this process, obviously based in my brain, must exist. One can assume that such a process constantly happens on some level below what I perceive as visible, or at least on a level which is permanently ready to be accessed. What other purpose than a _calibration_ should such a process have? My printer also has printed a few primitive colored lines, in the beginning, for the purpose of calibrating itself. My printer is a machine, and also my brain is a machine, but my brain is a less pedantic, a less reliably stable machine, so it would appear as plausible that it carries out such a calibration more often.
With such an utterly intensive constant recalibration, I'd assume that our brains have a _potential of adapting to an unused input_ which you'll easily miss the scope of. Their parts processing imagery anyway ripen only long after our births. Tasks are also re-delegated into brain areas formerly not used for them, when areas formerly exploited for such tasks vanish because of operations or because of injury still during adulthood. Hence, you'll hardly have an allocation pre-set, or at least not one pre-set for all time, of what point of the retina contributes what point in the images you see via what connection in your brain.
Dr. Roger Clark puts the resolution of a human eye at 576 megapixels. Given that something in us has the ability to establish a processing mode for such an input which delivers a flawless image only long after our birth, it should indeed appear as a promising approach to try out a gadget like the Orion system presented in the video with far more than just sixty pixels, and also to try out such a system with color.
Of course, you can assume that younger patients will turn out more successful in coping with such a task.
It should be feasible to test such a system with apes, given how eagerly such animals learn hundreds of symbols if they get rewards for it. You can implant a device into an ape's brain that has thousands of pixels, and in the beginning only show images consisting of much fewer points, with it. If an ape then recognizes an object or a symbol (which you can check for if the animal knows that you'll reward it), you can fathom quite exactly what such an animal sees.
Also directly with human recipients, I'd assume that apart from the problem with the preservation of the implant it should be easy and useful to implant, from the beginning, a device with _a potential_ for many more pixels than you necessarily will in the end really exploit.
It should be easily possible to in the beginning leave inactive areas around bigger dots on such an implant while such an implant already has the potential for a higher resolution. On such a basis you could, say, slowly let shrink the distances between the dots. Or - appearing to me as more promising - you could supplant a grid of such less numerous dots by a grid of smaller dots of which only every fourth sits at a place at which there already has been a dot before. If the patient cannot process what he then receives, you might simply be able to switch back to the former, simpler input.
A thing certainly possible with whatever number of pixels is that you feed a television signal - regardless from what source - to a gadget like the Orion system here presented. If a patient first has to translate what flickers on a TV screen in front of his camera into the pixels of such a system, this will result in a strong loss of resolution. So the best resolution will be obtained if you directly transmit whatever TV input into the computer of such a second-vision apparatus.
Aiming at entertainment or therapy, you at a stage like the one so far achieved by Second Sight could already create artwork for the users. For example, such artwork might consist in some flickering of the sixty dots achieved until now with the rhythms of music.
This should be possible on a general basis, for any musical input a user selects, just like it's done with halos which TH-cam recently has begun to display around thumbnails I have selected for playlists. These halos depend on the individual colors of the thumbnail but also on an algorithm which is always the same.
Maybe in the future they can invent smart eye computer, including somebody’s blindness. Which they Will see now. In 2030’s
why not just make an eye that connect to the back of the eye?
Please help me English is my second language and very poor Please give me email address doctor who makes surgery 🙏 ♥️ Thanky you
Great, now all we need to do is wait 50 more years for FDA approval. Isn't government grand?
Hello Please help me English is my second language and very poor I need email address doctor who can surgery bionic eye I living in Maine Thanky you
A 60 points image contains too small information for a blind people considering such a risky surgery. Doesn't worth it.
