MAX HODAK is back with a new brain-computer interface startup, and it's working on a next-generation eye that he hopes will provide a new treatment for blindness and eventually pave the way for the future of virtual
Science Corp's "Science Eye" uses gene therapy and a microLED display to restore vision, according to a recent interview with Futurism.
Some bunnies have been implanted with the Science Eyes and are doing well, according to the neuroscienceentrepreneur. He thinks a variation on the tech using "different underlying technology, not the microLED film" could lead toImmersive Virtual Experience that leave today's clunky headsets in the dust.
"We think we have a way to create what ends up being the ultimate augmented and virtual reality display technology without any surgery at all," he said.
Science Corp is the second-highest-funded brain-computer interface company out there with $160 million in capital, behind only Neuralink, according to a report from a few months ago.
The company's trajectory has been expressed in a cautious manner despite the flashy virtual reality concept.
He told us that the technical approach we're developing is very different from Neuralink's. Our vision is much more than just visual aids. We want to let ambition grow with success and not make big statements about things we may or may not do in the future.
Once Science Corp gets its first product into patients, we're excited to see where the startup goes next.
Scientists say they have figured out a way to read thoughts using an magnetic resonance machine.
