Blindness might soon become a thing of the past thanks to some awesome Aussie technology, and some generous funding from the Australian government. Bionic Vision Australia, a company bent on restoring vision to the blind, has recently received a $42 million from the Australian government to fund their bionic sunglasses project. This technology uses a pair of sunglasses with a camera installed to transmit images to a computer chip inside the eye. They’re shooting for 2013 as the initial launch date. If all goes according to plan, blindness could be eliminated within the next decade.
