With a chip implanted under his retina to replace broken photo receptors, Miika Terho of Finland was able to see the shape of things like a banana placed on a black table.

In the film Joseph Junke, president and CEO of Tanagram Partners, also discusses a fire-fighting mask his company is developing that displays things like oxygen levels and ambient room temperature and will let a firefighter pull up a menu on the mask's screen to access information such as "Team Status" or "Radio" by squeezing a computerized glove. He says he expects the mask and glove to be in production within the next two years.

Deux Ex: Human Revolution was also in the news earlier this week when GameStop was for pulling OnLive vouchers from retail copies of the PC game before selling them to customers.
