This document describes a device that allows blind people to see using their tongue. The device, called a brain port, uses a small camera and electrode array on a lollipop to capture images and convert them into electrical pulses on the tongue. The pulses are interpreted by the brain as visual information. It has advantages like independent operation and rechargeable battery. The device provides visual data to blind users and has applications for military and rescue personnel.

INTRODUCTION

An electrical lollipop that allow blind to see


using their tongue has been developed by
scientists
CONTD..

The electrical lollipop or brain port captures


images using a tiny camera and then convert
the image into tiny tingles on the tongue

The tingles are then sent to the brain which


then converts the tingles into pictures

This amazing new device may help people to


interact with their environment in ways never
before experiences
WHY KNOWN AS TASTING DEVICE
Other than normal use of tongue for tasting food,
eating, talking there also many other uses

One of them is for sensing of light it called as


tasting because it can taste the light and sense
the object

It is the property which is used in brain port


device
PARTS OF DEVICE
ELECTRODE ARRAY
The lollipop contains a square grid of two
electrode which pulse according to how much
light is in that area of picture

It convert picture into electrical pulses and it is


placed on tongue
ACCUMULATOR
Sensitive nerve fibers on the tongue respond to
electrodes to enable a rapid transfer of
electrical information

CPU AND BATTERY


Cpu converts the digital signal into electrical
pulses replacing function of the retina

It will be rechargeable battery


SUNGLASSES AND CAMERA
Brain port device collects visual data through a
small digital video camera about 1.5 cm in
diameter that sits in the middle of a pair of
sunglasses worn by the user
WORKING OF DEVICE
ADVANTAGES
User can operate it independently with a
handheld controller

It uses a rechargeable battery like normal


cell phone
APPLICATION
It provides visual information to the tongue for
the person who are completely blind

It is used in military and civilian rescue


personnel
CONCLUSION

It is a boon to blind people whose sight cant be


replaced.

Thus we hope that blind people can also see this


colourful world by using this device
Thank You
