Ocular implants are not the newest technology. The argument I think would be that a phone would be a cheaper alternative/more accessible. But I'm interested if the 'audio cues' that they mention in the video would be any better than the audio cues already present in most environments.

- maxerickson 13y agoI'm only aware of wildly experimental implants providing like 200 dots of light. They aren't by any means a deployed medical technology. This sort of system could provide audio cues in any environment. That's already a big step up from 'most environments'.
