The Electric Eye

MIT researchers have been developing a microchip that could help blind people regain partial eyesight. It won't completely restore normal vision, but it will allow a blind person to recognize faces and find a room without help. The chip is encased in titanium to prevent water damage. It will be implanted into a human's eyeball. The person will then wear eyeglasses equipped with a tiny camera that carry images to the chip. Then, it will be sent to the brain.
