DireTube News - FDA approve device that helps blind 'see with tongue'

A non-invasive device that allows people who are blind to sense visual images using their tongue has received marketing approval from the US Food and Drug Administration.

When used with a cane or assistance dog, the BrainPort V100 can enhance people's ability to navigate their environment by literally "tasting the light."

The battery-powered BrainPort looks like a square plastic lollipop - this goes in the mouth and sits on the tongue - connected via a wire to a tiny video camera mounted on a pair of sunglasses that the user wears.
