 The BrainPort vision device is a visual prosthetic designed for those who are blind. It enables perception of visual information using the tongue and camera system as a paired substitute for the eye. Visual information is collected from a video camera and translated into a gentle vibration that is presented to the subject on the tongue. With training users perceive shape, size, location and motion of objects in their environment. It is a functional, non-surgical device developed to demonstrate as an aid to the visually impaired.
