'Vision machine' for people with poor vision

Elizabeth Goldring, a blind expert working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, has designed a "vision machine" that allows people with vision to limit seeing friends, images, and words.

The device, which MIT predicts, will need $ 4,000 to build - plug in a personal computer and use light-emitting diodes to deliver selected images to the human eye, allowing people with vision. Weak to see words and pictures.

According to Goldring, this device fits in a box of 30.48 cm long, 15.24 cm wide. The device has been tested on 10 people with poor vision, ie those who do not see what is smaller than the E on the optometry board and most people can see the image and recognize simple words. .
