Intraocular system that includes an implant with an image formation device

A method performed by a headset that is part of an intraocular system, wherein the intraocular system comprises an implant that includes an image formation device, the method comprising:

• capturing, by a camera of the headset that is being worn by a user, a video stream that includes a visual representation of an environment in which the headset is located;
• transmitting, via a wireless connection, the video stream to the implant that is inside an eye of the user, wherein the video stream is for presentation by the image formation device;
• detecting a gesture performed by the user;
• determining whether the image formation device is to be deactivated or remain active based on the detected gesture;
• and
• transmitting, via the wireless connection and responsive to determining that the image formation device is to be deactivated, a control signal to the implant to cause the image formation device to deactivate.

A headset comprising:

• a camera;
• a processor;
• memory having stored therein instructions which when executed by the processor causes the headset to:
• capture, by the camera and while the headset is worn by a user, a video stream that includes a visual representation of an environment of the user;
• transmit, via a wireless connection, the video stream to the implant that is inside an eye of the user to display the video stream on a micro-display;
• detect a gesture performed by the user;
• determine that the micro-display is to display a dark background with no light stimulus based on the detected gesture;
• and
• transmit, via the wireless connection, a control signal to the implant to cause the micro-display to display the dark background.
