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.
