Thanks! So how far away are we from something like this:

Create a kind of "virtual sense organ" that allows you to learn to "read" text or information through BCI
A virtual or augmented reality, able to close your eyes and see things that the BCI is feeding you

Both of them can be done shitty-ly now. But to do it with quality that even healthy people will voluntarily get it? That would need several breakthroughs.

We can stimulate some neurons now; to be able to stimulate enough neurons to do either of those in good quality will be hard. Cutting edge stuff can stimulate ~1000 neurons (only monkeys not even humans) but the human optical nerve is more than a million fibers. So we probably will need 3 orders of magnitude improvement and somehow do it in humans safely.
