The vOICe vision BCI is an alternative for a Neuralink Blindsight brain implant. Recent developments include a live AI depth view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE3ElPNA21g AI scene description https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7jL9JVWmdw and infrared thermal vision https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puyzbBCdASs #BCI #blindness #AI

Nanochap Electronics retinal implant from China: "In our first human trial, a patient who had lived with blindness for 20 years has been able to recognise faces and objects, read complex text, and navigate independently without assistance using our retinal implant technology." #blindness

@pixelate@tweesecake.social If only the Linux Wine developers implemented the Microsoft Video for Windows video capture function capCreateCaptureWindow() then The vOICe for Windows would run fine under Linux with Wine. For now, The vOICe web app works with modern browsers in Linux (or any other platform).
