They've been pouring money into eyesight research for a while now. With a cynical hat on, it seems like their longterm goal is screenless viewing- optical nerve jacks, contact lens screens and the like- but it's helping people today too, it's pretty amazing.

Am I being thick? I can't see where these are credited to Google. Got a mate who works there and wanted to mention it to him.
