> Wicab, Inc. in Middleton, WI is developing a new technology that has 
> the potential to provide assistive benefits to blind individuals by 
> enabling greater independence. As an assistive tool, the BrainPort 
> vision device may enhance important functions as mobility, 
> orientation, reading, object recognition, employment, and recreation.
> The BrainPort system presents information to the brain via electrical 
> stimulation of the tongue, augmenting normal sensory channels. The 
> device consists of an electrode array for the tongue, a video camera, 
> and a control system. Luminance or brightness information is collected 
> from a video camera and translated into electrical intensity patterns 
> that are "displayed" tactilely on the tongue and interpreted as 
> spatial-temporal visual information. With just a few hours of 
> training, BrainPort users form a spatial reference of this new 
> information to their environment. Participants have able to detect 
> shapes, identify motion, report contrast differences and depth cues.
> The development of BrainPort technology has significant potential for 
> improving safety and quality of life for those who are blind.
