Key points from article :

Blind people can detect motion, distinguish light and dark with a wireless device.

Device is geared to people who used to be able to see but lost their vision to injury or disease.

Images are captured by a tiny video camera mounted on sunglasses.

Captured images convert into a series of electrical pulses, which stimulate implanted electrodes.

Along with the glasses, the system also includes a belt equipped with a button.

Six people who received the implant are very satisfied with the result.
