Remember Geordi La Forge from Star Trek?

[S. Fourteen]

you know, the blind guy..

It's very possible we live in the era where blindness, in many forms, will be cured by the same people who gave us the world's best beers. Brussels-based Belgian boffins have moved forward with a technology that uses a glasses-mounted camera hooked up to an implant that directly stimulates the optic nerve. The project by the cyberpunky brewsters is just one of many around the world pursuing a similar solution, but this particular rig-up is said to have "the best results."

This picture is actually from an older, New York-based project that is now sadly defunct.

Geordi is a blind man in the show, he has those weird looking glasses to help him see, it's Star Trek techonology, way out in the future you know?

But the shit is happening right now, another case of a Science Fiction becoming a Science Fact.

(Feel free to look through my thread about a robotic arm that's controlled by thought alone)
