A recent Futurism article discussed an experiment that improved the eyesight of sheep, but could very well translate to human use. A team of researchers from the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales tested the concept of bionic eye implants on sheep to ensure no undesired side effects before beginning human trials. The device is known as the Phoenix 99, and it works by wirelessly relaying a feed from a camera embedded in a pair of sunglasses directly to the wearer’s retina. The signals are processed by the optical nerve, and sent to the brain.
