The taste of an image

“Where will the future lead us?” is now yesterday’s question; “Where are we now?” is more appropriate. Everyday new technological advancements invade our lives. The majority of these new technologies are like spam mail, but a significant number of others are actually worth the praise.

The lasted in medical technology comes from a US company, Wicab, who recently developed the BrainPort Vision System. The latter is the first of its kind and it is designed to aid the visually impaired see through stimulation in the tongue.

Sounds crazy, no? Almost like tasting an image.
