- The contact lens processes digital images and translates them into tactile sensations which can then be felt on the user’s cornea, allowing them to form a picture of their physical surroundings.
- The system uses a smartphone or mounted camera to capture images that are then transformed into a form of electronic Braille.
- The device is worn just like a regular contact lens and, while still in early development, holds significant potential as an aid for the visually impaired.
- The lens is yet to undergo thorough testing, with the team currently seeking funding to complete full-scale clinical trials and move into mass production.
- They are aiming for blind people to finally see again or for the first time in there lives.
