Lollipop Lets Blind People See With Their Tongues

“An electric lollipop that allows the blind to ’see’ using their tongue has been developed by scientists.
The extraordinary device converts images captured by a tiny camera into a series of electrical tingles, which can be felt on the tongue.
Nerves then send these messages to the brain, which turn the tingles back into pictures.”
Here’s a video of the technology in action:
