New Russian brain implant to GIVE SIGHT to the blind (rbth.com)

Giordie LaForge concept. Not true vision but electronic flashes. Interesting if the cameras could transmit on a broader range of the spectrum than humans normally see. Also, could our brains process that - although can't see why not. Night vision? Ultraviolet spectrum?

Having watched the sound of metal, I wonder what the quality of image is received by the wearer.
