BrainPort

This system is a novel, bionic, non-invasive, vision bypass system that conveys environment images from a spectacle-frame-mounted video-camera to the brain via an electro-tactile tongue array. The electro-tactile stimulation delivered by the tongue-array placed on the tongue allows users to interpret the images of objects in their camera's visual field
