Years ago I read about something like this. A blind man was even able to drive a car (I think it was the researcher's) around a parking lot. IIRC it had a limited framerate so he wouldn't be able to actually drive anywhere with it I find the encoding of such a signal to be fascinating. Somewhere someone has mapped out the 'protocol' of the eye-brain interface! I would love to know more.

I think it's more accurate to say they've tinkered their way into figuring out a few basic commands that can make the system predictably do a handful of things. Still no color, very limited resolution, and low framerate as you mentioned. We've probably got over 99% more of that 'protocol' yet to discover. But at least we've got our foot in the door.
