Hope for the blind....smart glasses that allow the blind to see could be on sale by 2016!
Smart glasses that could transform the lives of blind and partially-sighted people could be in the shops by 2016.
The revolutionary technology which is a joint project between the University of Oxford and the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB)
enables blind people to see obstacles and faces, similar to the fictional high-tech visor worn by Geordi La Forge in TV's Star Trek.
The smart glasses consist of a video camera, a computer processing unit that is small enough to fit in a pocket and software that provides images of objects close by to the see-through displays in the eyepieces of the glasses.

Couple married for 62 years die 4 hours apart holding hands
Californian couple, Don and Maxine Simpson died four hours apart on adjoining beds, holding hands.
According to their grand daughter Melissa Sloan, Maxine died first and when her body was removed from the room, her husband followed.
"All Don wanted was to be with his beautiful wife. He adored my grandmother, loved her to the end of the earth," she told KERO-TV.
He was 90 and she was 87, and they met at a bowling alley in Bakersfield in 1952, and got married in the same year.
They are survived by one son and five grandchildren.
