Will be able to "read" and recognize objects: a neuroimplant for blind people has been created in Russia

ELVIS V will allow blind people to see text and navigate in space

The new neuroimplant ELVIS V will allow blind people to recognize objects and see text. This was announced by the General Director of "Sensor-Tech" (resident of the Skolkovo Foundation) Denis Kuleshov.

The ELVIS V neuroimplant is implanted into the human brain and stimulates the visual cortex with weak currents. The system consists of a camera, a wireless transmitter, and a microcomputer. The camera captures the image and transmits it to a chip, where it is processed by a microcomputer.

The neuroimplant works on the basis of two algorithms. The first level mechanism breaks down images into segments and sends a signal to the cerebral cortex. The second helps the blind to navigate in space using machine vision.

Our second-level AI algorithm also recognizes text and voices what is on the page.
