An experimental eye implant could be the secret to restoring a patient’s central vision—the part of our eye that lets us see faces, details, and letters more clearly. Many patients now using the implant as part of a clinical trial have reported successful results. The implant was developed by Science Corporation, a competitor to Elon Musk’s Neuralink, which Musk plans to use to merge humans and AI together.

The chip pairs with a pair of glasses that capture video using attached cameras. Patterns of infrared light are then beamed to the chip, which is covered with 378 light-powered pixels.
