So when are we going to create glasses with cameras and ear pieces that create images of the view in front of them and convert to sounds using hilbert curves and help deaf people see?

I imagine this is already feasible. We would need to give them time to pick up the skill by letting them loose in some kind of training situations so they know what everything looks like and can distinguish things passing by.

The only thing I'm not certain of is how long the training would take before some basic recognition is possible amidst the already present noise of every day life. I do know that when you lose a sense though your other senses get sharpened to compensate, and that might improve the adaptation period.

edit: we could also give these to seeing people to help retain their acuity as they age.
