If your visual apparatus doesn’t work, you will see nothing.

Better to develop a system that uses a video camera, artificial intelligence, and earphones to keep a blind person informed of the world around him. THAT would be a good use of technology.

The same software that is used in “self-driving” cars to navigate, can be adapted to what I just suggested.

Merge it with GPS and you can create a self-navigating system for the blind. It can warn him, in words, of obstacles, curbs, holes in the ground. It can tell him he’s approaching a corner and to stop. However, I don’t trust any software to keep a blind person safe crossing a street, given the irresponsible way many people drive. Used in buildings, it can help a blind person get around more easily.

Sad to say, the Mojo Vision invention will most likely be used for game playing and “virtual reality.”

To the developers:
Make sure your “proprietary induction system” (charging without direct physical contact) is totally disabled when the lens is in the eye. Otherwise the damn thing will be charging when near a proprietary induction system charger and heat up the bearer’s eye.
