New technology developed by researchers in the Department of Electronic Engineering at City University of Hong Kong can enhance the effectiveness of “bionic eyes”, creating more stable images for people suffering from visual impairments
Professor Henry Chung Shu-hung, Dr Leanne Chan Lai-hang, Assistant Professor, and their team have found a way to improve the efficiency of the electrical energy transmission for “bionic eyes”, which also reduces the users’ exposure to radiation, and extends the life of the portable battery.
Professor Chung and Dr Chan will introduce the new technology at the press conference.
