Bionic Glasses Bring Hope For Blind

AN AUSTRALIAN scientist has developed the first pair of bionic glasses that could help thousands of legally blind people.
The glasses, using tiny cameras and software technology from video games, alert the wearer to objects in their surroundings using flashing lights.
A neuroscientist, Stephen Hicks, said the glasses had an advantage over the bionic eye, or retinal implants, because they were cheap and non-invasive. ''Essentially they are just an iPhone and a pair of glasses.''

The glasses would be ideal for elderly people with macular degeneration, who see objects as a blur but cannot focus, see much colour or make out specifics. Video cameras attached to the rim of the glasses capture information about the distance and dimension of objects.

What would be neat would be to see an artists interpretation of a picture / series of objects as seen by a normal naked eye and how this would look to someone visually impaired through these 'bionic' glasses?
