There was a pretty amazing post in Science Blog the other day stating, "An MIT poet has developed a small, relatively inexpensive 'seeing machine' that can allow people who are blind, or visually challenged like her, to access the Internet, view the face of a friend, 'previsit' unfamiliar buildings and more." For those with healthy retinas, but other eye problems, the device projects an image directly onto the retina of the eye "past the hemorrhages within the eye." The device is based on the technology of a "scanning laser opthalmoscope, or SLO." It costs $4000 bucks.
Mun Mun digs assistive technology.
