March 13, 2008 at 14:37Bionic Eye Prototype and Sound Captcha
In pursuit of the article, the Prototype of the bionic eye will allow people who have lost their sight to see again .
Strange as it may seem, almost every Habr user can make life easier for visually impaired people. If you do not know, the blind use the computer on a par with the sighted, through special speech programs. I worked with an invisible programmer and supporter, and I can definitely say that his performance was an order of magnitude higher than many sighted people.
So the visual captcha are absolutely impenetrable obstacle for them . Any self-respecting service in the west has a combined captcha where you can listen to the file and enter the answer.
Oddly enough, none of our leading services either mail.ru or yandex.ru did such a captcha, despite the appeal of visually impaired teams.
Although of course there is nothing strange, this is a Russian tradition, a couple of generations grew up on the idea that we have no disabled people.
PS Last time, when I raised this topic on the hub, it was actively ridiculed and minuscule, but of course against the background of the bionic eye, well, one geek will not raise his hand to minus such a topic)

Bravo! Discoveries that potentially make life easier for millions of people are worthy of the Nobel Prize.
