Amazing. I love that it's being developed as a social tool, with the potential to change peoples' lives.

Too often, technology is created as a vanity project, just so companies can show off something cool, but essentially useless.

That's incredible. Gives some hope to those that are born blind to be able to be somewhat self sufficient.
