Hold on, bald ones! “Lab-grown” hair is just one step away
The startups' idea is to take ordinary cells from patients, such as skin cells, and turn them into hair-forming cells.
Autopilot Exoskeletons: The Future of Wearable Robotics
Until now, wearable robotics (exoskeletons and other ancillary devices) were only manual. Now we are studying how to make it autonomous.
Vision problems or blindness: three fantastic technologies
Vision problems are real "killers". Millions and millions of adults over 40 are blind or partially sighted: here's how technology can help them.
5 sustainable mobility startups that can change the world
Sustainable mobility is the new short-term goal of the human species. Many startups today will drive transportation, and some of the economy, tomorrow. Here are 5 really promising ones.
Emerging technologies: the 7 sisters who will change the world
In this post I list 7 emerging technologies that can revolutionize our future.
EC-Eye, a bionic eye that sees more than the human eye "will be ready in 5 years".
The development of an artificial retina is the major advance in research into a bionic eye that is potentially able to see better than the human eye.
Find your sight with a bionic eye that bypasses his
A new approach creates a "bionic eye" capable of transmitting visual information directly to the brain. To see without using biological eyes.
Mojo Vision unveils the prototype of contact lenses with augmented reality
Read information, watch a movie, get directions directly in the eyes. Even if they are closed. Smart contact lenses, bright future.
Canine, the robotic stick of our old age
A research team from Columbia Engineering took inspiration from the traditional cane for the blind. The result is a “robotic stick,” an assistant equipped with a LiDAR laser that offers the ability to “touch” objects with light to help traverse a space. Canine (from “Dog”, stick) is the name of this device that redefines the concept of spatial autonomy and improves walking stability for everyone, blind and blind. According to a preliminary investigation carried out by… Read more
The app that allows you to see is coming
It's called Aipoly and it's an app that allows blind or partially sighted people to "see" what's around them. Aipoly is an artificial intelligence app that allows you to explore the world in a different way, through a technology that communicates what you are framing with a guiding voice, obviously thanks to the use of the smartphone camera. The app currently allows you to identify around 1.000 different objects and 900 colors in real time. Aipoly was presented for the first… Read more
Is changing eye color safe? Keratopigmentation, let's take stock
Keratopigmentation: an analysis of progress and challenges after years of use. Will changing eye color be an increasingly widespread practice?
Contact lenses in augmented reality, the CEO of Mojo Vision tests them on himself
A display that is always "visible", because it is positioned directly on the eye: augmented reality contact lenses are making great strides towards complete realization.
A brain implant allows a blind teacher to review the letters without using her eyes.
A brain implant combined with an "artificial retina" allows a patient to see after 16 years of blindness.
