The vOICe vision BCI 🧠🇪🇺Malmesbury #blind woman given bionic eye to help see again https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-wiltshire-65876262 using a retinal implant from Pixium Vision; #BionicEye
Casey Reeves (it/its)@seeingwithsound Big yikes here. Bionic eyes, implants... Reminds me of that awfull business that went down with the Argus II and the Orion implant. Noone will put such things in my body.
@xogium Yes, it remains deeply troubling that there is nothing in place to deal with the tension between potentially beneficial and commercially viable. What Pixium Vision is doing looks like a very decent attempt, but they too are governed by whatever determines commercial viability, in a very difficult market.
