When Meta launched Orion, Musk's inner OS narration was that this kind of childish toy dared to be sold, while Mark Zuckerberg just wanted everyone to be a nerdy bookworm like him. Meta's augmented reality glasses extend a new virtual dimension into the real world through external devices, rendering virtual objects to create an entirely new world. However, compared to Musk's Neuralink, these augmented reality devices are almost useless, merely gaming accessories that are both expensive and impractical; no one wants to wear silly glasses all day.

Neuralink is indeed a true disruptive innovation. When Musk conducted the somewhat terrifying monkey experiments in 2016, many were unaware of what 'brain-machine interfaces' were really about, only feeling that drilling a hole in the head to implant a chip was quite shocking. The human brain's nerves can be considered one of the most mysterious areas; neuroanatomy remains one of the most challenging fields of study. The brain's neurons connect with the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and with the sensing of neurons, various signals can be transmitted to the brain, allowing us to 'perceive' images, sounds, smells, and tastes.

How the Neuralink Blindsight Implant Chip Works

Augmented Reality (AR) allows users to see virtual objects stacked in the real world. Neuralink is preparing to enable people to not need to wear any equipment, relying on surgery to become chip-enhanced individuals (can't think of a better way to describe it), allowing the chip to operate and accelerate neuron perception to control the external world. With wireless transmission, humans can connect with computers, reviving signals to perform tasks.

The Neuralink Blindsight Implant works by implanting a chip and camera in the brain, projecting the acquired data into images, allowing those who have lost their sight or were born blind to 'see' the real world. This is the vision of the Neuralink Blindsight Implant.

Imagine implanting a camera and chip into the eyes and brain of a blind person. Once the camera is activated, the brain's activity and the data captured by the robot are converted into electronic signals transmitted to the areas of the brain that control vision, working on the same principle as augmented reality. As long as there is rendering, the brain will produce images.

Allowing robots to perform brain surgery on blind individuals will enable patients to regain their vision, combining artificial intelligence with the human brain—not turning humans into robots or science fiction monsters, but using technology to help those with special disabilities return to normal lives.

In the 'How Neuralink Will Break Reality' video, the augmented reality glasses worn by Mark Zuckerberg are used to explain the function of the Neuralink Blindsight Implant, with the narrator teasing Mark for looking like a big boy (adorable) with his curly hair and glasses.

Neuralink's Blindsight Implant is preparing to enter the medical market, considered a niche market within a niche market, as no one but Musk dares to undertake this. Although Musk states that currently only low-level images can be rendered, it has already brought hope to many blind individuals and their families.

Neuralink's Blindsight Implant has received certification labels from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which may expedite its approval and official release in the future. Currently, there is no further news on when human trials for the Blindsight Implant will begin, and the FDA has not released any comments.

Neuralink Introduction

Neuralink is a medical startup founded by Musk and a group of engineers in 2016, developing brain chip interface implants that can be placed within the skull, using wireless transmission through the chip to help patients with congenital or acquired disabilities restore normal lives. Neuralink is actively recruiting patients with limb paralysis to join the research, and further details can be found on the official website.
