Yesterday, Elon Musk’s Neuralink company showed the first patient with a chip implanted in the brain, who can already play computer games with the power of thought. Musk said his next project will be about vision. 

Blindsight — Neuralink's next product after Telepathy. The Blindsight implant is already working in monkeys. The resolution will be low at first, similar to early Nintendo graphics, but can eventually exceed normal human vision. In addition, no monkeys were killed or seriously injured by the Neuralink device 

Musk had previously mentioned that his company would be working on an implant for the blind and noted that such a solution would appear in a few years. Considering that the company is already conducting experiments on monkeys, apparently, the development is no longer at the initial stage.
