skullbone Posted April 24, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2008 (edited) This is great. I'm glad to see scientific technology help and benefit mankind for the better and to help blind people see images to build memories of the things they cherish. Now if they can make some of these optics shoot lasers like Kano's in Mortal Kombat or have X-ray vision so I can check out hot chicks...now THAT would truly be an advancement for the betterment of mank....well the betterment of me!!!
