Artificial vision could be a reality thanks to an electric eye being developed by scientists

Artificial vision could be closer to reality, after scientists develop a tiny electric eye designed for use by microbots, which could ultimately help blind people too. Georgia State University researchers created the device using a new vertical stacking system, allowing it to be scaled down, and operate at micro-levels. The goal of the team, led by assistant physic professor Sidong Lei, is to create a micro-scale camera that could operate as the eyes of tiny robots, able to access areas humans, and larger scale bots can't reach. In the future, the team say the same technology could be adapted to bring vision to the blind, or improve color perception in the colorblind. The device makes use of synthetic methods to mimic the biochemical processes that allow humans to see, a step towards a micro-scale robot camera.
