Maybe you heard a lot about cyborgs but an eyeborg? Is that another science fiction innovation? Perhaps, but it is more than that because it's real!

An eyeborg is an artificial intelligent eye that has a very tiny camera and a transmitter installed somewhere in it. It works similarly with the other eye prosthesis, which send information to the brain via the transmitter. You would not want to use it, if you can still see with your two eyes, because this little eyeborg is designed for the blind or visually impaired individuals.

It's quite intriguing and useful of course. Bionic engineers, Rob Spence and Kosta Grammatis developed this tiny masterpiece to help give our friends see better.

We have already seen several models or designs of a retinal prosthesis, but this one is very lightweight which means, one need not carry an extra backpack to carry a motor or battery and it can even be plucked out of the eye sockets for some cleaning routines. How cool is it?

I don't know if Rob is really blind because he tested the eyeborg in his own eyes. (see picture above).

  5. Visually impaired is one of the biggest impact, in the way of survive, to human life.Eyeborg is a very good invention to help these poor people to lead a independent and normal life.It is true no science can replace human’s natural eye but if eyeborg can replace it by 25 to 50%,It will be great boon to a blind man.
