Scientists involved in the project, the artificial retina, say they have plans to develop the technology to allow people to read, write and recognize faces.

"For a long time, scientists and clinicians were very conservative, but you have to at some point get out of the laboratory and focus on getting clinical trials in actual humans," said Timothy J. Schoen, director of science and preclinical development for the Foundation Fighting Blindness.
