Summary: We propose an implantable metaverse with retinal prostheses that work in tandem with bionic vision processing. Our approach differs from conventional retinal prostheses by rearranging electrodes to match the distribution of ganglion cells. To emulate human vision, we develop a scheme for bionic vision processing that visualizes monocular image, binocular image fusion, and parallax-induced depth map on a three-dimensional eye model.
