From Extremetech:

Providing us with a delightful glimpse of the future of humanity and bionic implants, Second Sight — the developer of the first bionic eye to receive FDA approval in the US — is currently working on a firmware upgrade that gives users of the Argus II bionic eye better resolution, focus, and image zooming. The software update even provides users with color recognition, even though the original version of the device only provides black and white vision.

Though I'm sure we were all hoping for something a little more stylish, the era of the flying car (or roadable aircraft, as it's designers prefer) may finally be upon us. MIT startup Terrafugia has been showcasing its Transition vehicle, a 2-seat aircraft that can fold its wing to become a road-ready automobile.

The transition runs on unleaded gas, has a flight range of 500 miles, an airspeed of ~110mph, and a road speed of 70mph.  With the prototype costing around $300,000, the Transition may not be for everyone. But it's a start.

Congratulations to AeroVelo for building a human powered helicopter that hovered for 65 seconds on nothing more than the furious pedaling of a man desperate not to crash to the ground.

And a special shout out to an old friend Trammell Hudson, one of the many who supported the Kickstarter campaign for this aircraft.
