Spence has worked with a team of engineers to fit an endoscope in a camcorder works Jack. It is powered by waving a magnet near it and begin transmitting a video signal wirelessly to a handheld LCD screen. Absolutely incredible.
Watch a video on Sky News below, but be aware that is a bit 'graphics. If you can not treat someone to install and remove artificial eye, consider this warning.
It's amazing that this is possible. But really, it's more of a general achievement in miniaturization, and bionics not. Endoscopic cameras with wireless transmitters are now commonplace, the speaker and the ergonomics of the device would be the hardest part of this construction. What is to be conducted with an artificial eye that is the effective linkage of the visual cortex, which is still far from being practical - at least to produce any kind of detail. Cortical microelectrode current arrangements are simply not necessary density, and therefore to produce something like a low-definable image.
The timing of this new information is part of a media push for new Deus Ex game (in infamy GameStop), where cybernetics and implants are important - which does not diminish wonderful thing, in my opinion . They also produced a short documentary on the prosthetics and research in this area that are worth watching too. This is a very exciting, and the best bit is that they are creating things that really improve people's lives. An ocular prosthesis is far, but people with passion and commitment that Spence and his team, driving innovation, no matter how far the "final" product may be
