Vision Restoration and Vision Chip Technologies

With the help of the bionic devices blind people might regain some of their sight. The main objective of this paper is the presentation of the vision restoration techniques and bionic vision devices. Also, the vertically integrated vision chip technology is bringing a revolution in the design of artificial vision systems. Prospective vision restoration techniques are presented and discussed in detail focusing on retina implants, bionic glasses and on vision chip technologies. Our paper summarizes and details the essence of our successful program, and the knowledge how to build and establish a groundbreaking innovation center.
