:huh: uhm... i just mean.... the bionic eye thingie is something like the "star wars kid" of technology. some months ago you have seen it everywhere... some weeks later everybody was like....awww...bionic eye.. not again.. uhm.. but how well does this one work now? the old eye they tested gave you just the view of an 8x8 pixel black and white rasterized image... you cant really talk about seeing..its more like.. movement recognition... barely barrier recognition ... you could cognize if it is dark, or bright... the eye wasnt that spectacular... and
ITS A LASER!!!

you'd be singing a much different tune if you were blind and this was something that would allow you to see ANYTHING. doesnt matter if its the difference between light and dark. It simply means they can see SOMETHING, which is a vast improvement over the absolute zero theyre getting without it. Take a second to think about how good all of us people with normal senses have it.

have i said something against the bionic eye ? i just said its maybe not seeing in the way you would understand the word seeing... i mean... its not even real seeing if they have made not much progress to the last version of it.
you still would need your dog and cane, because the only thing you would experience in your field of view is a blurry interpretation of the original sensor feed that looks like that..

Indeed, but there has been some progress made. They are using a camera to take imput signals now and they have developed ways to creat more then B&W colors. Also they are saying that even though they haven't managed to do so yet, they are most likely going to be able to manufacture these things at MUCH higher resolutions then 8 by 8. It would be pretty frigging cool if you were able to directly plug into a monitor port or something so you could game with no monitor...
I can cook breakfast easy.
Open noodles, find cold tap. Put water into noodles. Nuke in micro until taste cooked.
WOOHAH!
By the way I think you meant cryforme and not Necrosis. Close tho.
There was a blokey I went to Uni with, he had oculocutaneous albinism. It was surreal, because despite the fact he was going slowly blind, he was still trying to get a degree in a biological field. Yet, at the same time, he couldn't even see down a microscope.
:wacko:
I mean, yeah, push the envelope, but at the same time that was someone else's space in university. I mean, if I had both arms amputated, I wouldn't be in a touch typing course. I dunno if that makes sense.
So LC, whats with the eye thing then? Am I missing something here?
Anyhow, iirc 48x48 resolution is enough for signing and basic eye function. Here's a 48x48 sprite of a very familiar torso.

well its not really a secret, but i havent told EVERYONE until now i guess... my last visit to the optometrist reveals that i am more than just nearsighted... apparentlyi have some sort of degenerative disorder that can cause me to go totally blind. In a nutshell, my eyes will continue to get worse and worse and just not stop, like most people's do eventually. It is unknown wether mine will level out or just keep worsening. If it does advance and i go blind, there is a hcange that even after surgery my eyes will simply revert back to sucktitude.
so thats my situation, im not really all that worried about it.

I've had 20:20 vision all my life, I rely on my sight for everything. I know for a fact I would be insanely lost without my good vision, when I try to navigate my house when it's extreamly dark or blindfolded I tend to seriously hurt myself increadibly often.
I have to give you props LC, I would be alot more bummed about it if I thought there was a reasonable chance that I was going blind then you seem to be. Even if you are one day too sightless to play NS, I hope you still stick around the forums and be awesome like always :D
[edit] necrosis... my microwave doesn't have any way to tell what buttons you are pressing by feel :(. I would still be unable to cook your breakfast.
BTW, this is what a person dressed like subzero standing against a pure white wall would look like to someone with a 48x48 veiwing resolution chip.

i can make eggs/bacon by sound. They pop less when theyre done, and often when im in the IRC im blind.
