by Eric Hal Schwartz for DCInno The FDA has greenlit an unusual kind of wearable tech for medical use, one that lets people with vision problems navigate by taste. The BrainPort V100, built by Wisconsin-based Wicab, takes input from a video camera attached to a pair of glasses and converts it into different kinds of vibrations or tingling sensations given off by a small device seen above that the user holds on his or her tongue. It essentially translates sensory data into a form that is helpful to people who can't see.

by Keith Wagstaff, NBCNews.com ![]() The BrainPort V100, a gadget that claims to help blind people "see" with their tongues, was approved Thursday by the Food and Drug Administration.
Developed by Wisconsin-based Wicab, the device translates visual information from a video camera into gentle electrical stimuli for the tongue. Eventually, users are able to interpret the signals to "see" where objects are located, how big they are, and how quickly and in what direction they are moving. "Medical device innovations like this have the potential to help millions of people," said William Maisel, chief scientist at the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said in a statement. "It is important we continue advancing device technology to help blind Americans live better, more independent lives." To read the full article click here.

Haiyin Capital's Portfolio Companies Take Tech on the Road in Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Beijing by Haiyin Capital In a tightly-organized and high-energy road show, about a dozen futuristic U.S. tech companies toured China's economic hubs and drew attention from government officials, national media and well-known Chinese businesses. The trip represents the vision of Haiyin Capital, a small venture capital firm based in Beijing and eyeing team expansion to the U.S.. Haiyin's founding partner, Yuquan Wang, sees an opportunity to identify investable U.S. tech companies and connect them to manufacturing and distribution partners in China, helping the companies grow and penetrate the largest market in the world. "The trip showed our companies what we know to be true: China is the ideal partner if you want explosive growth," Wang said. The trip started in Hangzhou, home to automaker Geely Automotive (parent company of Volvo) and global tech giant Alibaba. Haiyin portfolio companies including LightSail Energy (energy storage, based in the Bay Area), WiTricity (wireless charging, based near Boston), Terrafugia (flying cars, based near Boston), and 1366Tech (silicon solar wafers, based near Boston), met with rising entrepreneurial stars at Lakeside University, founded by Alibaba CEO Jack Ma, and presented their companies at Hangzhou Normal University near Alibaba's headquarters. In Guangzhou, home to 16 million and a manufacturing powerhouse, Chinese companies heard presentations from each of Haiyin's tech companies and waited for up to two hours to meet with them about potential partnerships. The city's mayor welcomed the companies and hosted them for dinner. On the third stop of the tour, Qinghua University hosted a taping of the CCTV show "Dialogue," featuring Silicon Valley investors Reid Hoffman and Peter Thiel, and spotlighting four of the Haiyin Companies: Wicab, Hanson Robotics, LightSail Energy and WiTricity. Haiyin companies showcased their products before a standing room-only crowd at the T-Edge Summit, sponsored in part by Titanium Media. The event was held at the Park Hyatt hotel in Beijing, and drew dozens of reporters from the capital city and beyond. On the companies' final day in China, Beijing University hosted senior economists and Haiyin Capital at an event highlighting the importance of intellectual property protection, and leveraging the strengths of U.S. and China in growing technical innovations on both sides of the Pacific.
