Wicab Inc. was founded in 1998 by the late Dr. Paul Bach-y-Rita to advance the research and development of sensory substitution devices, based on proprietary technology, enabling the display of information on the tongue using electro tactile stimulation. Our first product, the BrainPort® V100, is an oral electronic vision aid that provides electro-tactile stimulation to aid profoundly blind patients in orientation, mobility, and object recognition as an adjunctive device to other assistive methods such as the white cane or a guide dog. The BrainPort® V100 vision aid has received FDA clearance and is manufactured in the USA.
