For those of you who attended our Network11 event last year, you may remember our keynote speakers were from the Bionics Institute, and delivered presentations outlining their work in technologies to assist the hearing and vision impaired.



On the 30th of August 2012, the Bionics Institute announced the successful implant and stimulation of Australia's first prototype bionic eye!



You can read an article (and see a video interview with the implant recipient) on the ABC News website.
