Real world VIZR? "Make it so!"


Andrew's post on bioengineering advances in vision enhancement reminded me that, some time ago, I found a company website that was marketing vision enhancement devices for people with macular degeneration and other vision disorders. These folks, "Enhanced Vision Inc." actually sell a product they call "JORDY" (after the eponymous Lt. Commander Geordi LaForge from Star Trek--The Next Generation). Here's a photo. I believe this device simply magnifies the image rather than doing something really cool like allowing a person to see "new", previously undetectable colors, but I like the fact that the corporate execs were comfortable enough to name the thing, "JORDY"! Here's a link to their website:
