New technology could enable vision prosthesis

Dutch researchers hope their artificial vision simulator will lead to vision prosthesis for blind people

Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and the Donders Institute have created an artificial vision simulator, a device which they hope will further efforts to develop a visual prosthesis for visually impaired people.

The simulator mimics artificial visual perceptions and makes it possible to study and envisage what visually impaired people would experience if they were wearing a vision prosthesis. The researchers behind the tool have made it available to other scientists free of charge.
