California, USA – Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has unveiled a revolutionary breakthrough in technology aimed at solving the problem of blindness.
Through his neurotechnology company, Neuralink, Musk announced the development of the Blindsight device, capable of restoring vision to individuals with severe visual impairments.
According to Musk’s statement on social media, the Blindsight device will enable:
- Those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see
- Individuals blind from birth to see for the first time, provided their visual cortex is intact
Initially, the vision will be low-resolution, comparable to Atari graphics. However, Musk promises that the technology will eventually surpass natural vision capabilities, allowing users to see in:
- Infrared
- Ultraviolet
- Radar wavelengths, similar to Star Trek’s Geordi La Forge
Elon Musk’s statement
“The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see… To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential to be better than natural vision.”
Neuralink, founded by Musk in 2016, focuses on integrating the human brain with computers to solve complex medical problems. This breakthrough demonstrates the company’s commitment to harnessing technology to improve human lives.
Experts hail this development as a significant milestone in the fight against blindness. The potential impact on millions of visually impaired individuals worldwide is immense.
