Source <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Dr. Keith Mathieson from the University of Glasgow?s department of physics is all set out to combat the two common forms of blindness. And what he uses is a technology very similar to the digital cameras that we?re all familiar with.Dr Mathieson said, ?By implanting a device into the eye, we hope we will be able to fool the brain into believing the retina is still in working order.?I?m sure this is something that many of us have thought of. But the difficult lies in wiring the device to the optic nerves. Now that the scientists have done it, this is great news for the many unfortunates around the world.The current prototype implant has only 100 pixels, not enough for patients to recognize faces just yet. But looking at how technology is progressing, Dr. Mathieson is confident that achieving the 500 pixels necessary for facial recognition is very attainable.?Beyond where we are today it might be possible to make smart chips which have memory in them which would allow action replay and slow motion?, said Dr. Mathieson.With ?action replay? and ?slow motion?, I shudder at the thought that even the non-disabled might just want to be a part of this as well.</div>
Slow motion and replay? That's crazy!!! sh*t, that would be the most popular product since the phone came out.
It sounds retarded. How could you process your mind to go slow motion? It's not a TV remote. What you're seeing is live..

I love smart people, thank god we have people smart enough to figure this out...I really think they have something here, I read about something like this last year.
The only problem is that this is still in the beta stage, at best. At the very best. There's a big chance it might not work.Nevertheless, it's amazing what modern science can do.
