The researchers hope to power the whole system using a combination of radio-frequency power and solar cells placed on the lens, Parviz said.

不用安裝特殊的軟硬體，視力障礙人士將能透過網路直接使用WebAnywhere " New software, called WebAnywhere, launched today lets blind and visually impaired people surf the Web on the go. The tool developed at the University of Washington turns screen-reading into an Internet service that reads aloud Web text on any computer with speakers or headphone connections.
