Melbourne NOW - Bionic Eye Monash University
The bionic eye project by Monash Vision Group is featured in Melbourne Design as part of Melbourne NOW at the NGV November 22 to March 23rd 2014.
The Bionic Eye project will restore sight by transmitting wireless signals directly to an implant in the brain.
Monash Vision Group (MVG) brings together engineering, computer scientists and medical researchers from Monash University, Alfred Health and industry partners Grey Innovation and MiniFAB, with all partners dedicated to developing and manufacturing a direct to brain bionic eye ready for first patient tests by 2014.
bionic eye
The above body-worn headgear is one of the early concepts that is being developed for the external components. A digital camera embedded in the left hand arm will capture images; and as your head turns, the headgear turns with you. Cutting edge digital processors will modify the images captured by the camera and a wireless transmitter will then present the captured visual to a chip that has been implanted at the back of the brain. The chip will then directly stimulate the visual cortex of the brain with electrical signals using an array of micro-sized electrodes. The brain will learn to interpret these signals as sight.
Bionic Eye - Melbourne NOW
Melbourne NOW - Bionic Eye
Monash University Bionic Eye at Melbourne NOW.
The industrial design team lead by Professor Mark Armstrong are focused on usability and adjustability to ensure the externally worn technology is comfortable, light and extremely reliable.
The design team at MADA includes Jessica Cassar and Kieran John, both talented recent graduates. The design process at MADA has been very collaborative with a broad range of specialists interacting with the industrial designers. The device also includes a vision processor which can be hand held or stored in the pocket. This device provides power to the system as well as houses controls that modify brightness and various visual mapping options.
The camera is mounted within the compact side arm along with sophisticated electronics. The final design should be easy to use and operate and have an aesthetic that is more in line with a contemporary consumer product rather than a medical device.
The Bionic Eye in development at Monash Vision Group has significant potential to improve the quality of life for future recipients.

Interview Tips - Selection for Industrial Design
If you are interested in studying industrial design for most universities you will need to prepare a folio and attend an interview. The selection interview for industrial design programs will require some preparation so here are a few tips.
Industry knowledge:
Select one or two designers or companies and know a little about their work. Select designers that interest you and work that is the type of design you are interested in.
The career:
Industrial designers work in many disciplines and across a broad spectrum of industries. What is your interest? Product, Automotive, Furniture, Exhibition, Interaction, Lighting, Service/Systems, Eco/Sustainability. Share your interest and knowledge of this field of industrial design.
Industrial Design History:
Some knowledge of the history of industrial design is helpful. (see tabs in this blog: 1950s, 1960s etc)
Alumni and Employers:
Who are the companies that employ graduate industrial designers from the program? Research alumni and where they are working.
Knowledge of the program and institution:
Identify what is unique with each program and ask questions that demonstrate your interest in this offering.
Your Folio:
Your freehand sketches and drawings are important because they represent your potential to think in 3D. Rough creative concept sketches offer a very personal insight into your potential in an interview that is about exactly that....your potential. Don't judge your drawing....let the interview panel see your raw potential.
Your folio may have projects you have completed as part of your formal studies. Think about design projects you have done in your own time and because you are 'already a designer'. Made a birthday present for someone, made an item of clothing or a costume, decorated a room. What demonstrates your passion for design?
Open Day and Exhibitions:
Ensure you mention your attendance at Open Days and exhibitions and discuss your impressions of work on display.
