Texas Instruments' Programmable Remapper is a research tool used to determine how to best utilize the part of a patient's visual field still usable by mapping onto his field of vision with manipulated imagery. It is an offshoot of a NASA program for speeding up, improving the accuracy of pattern recognition in video imagery. The Remapper enables an image to be pushed around" so more of it falls into the functional portions in the retina of a low vision person. It works at video rates and researchers hope to significantly reduce its size and cost creating a wearable prosthesis for visually impaired people."
