chevysoldier Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) A soldier blinded in battle has become the first member of the armed forces to test a special pair of glasses which allow him to 'see' using his tongue. Lance Corporal Craig Lundberg, who was blinded in a grenade attack in Basra, is trying the glasses which turn pictures into electrical impulses that are felt on the tongue.Video: http://shock.military.com/Shock/videos.do?displayContent=212275 Edited March 18, 2010 by chevysoldier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope they can advance that technology.... wonder how it actually works though.My understanding is the glasses "see" and transmit data to his tongue. That get's sent to the brain and the brain says "this isn't taste" and directs the info to where it needs to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
