Dr Mathieson, said: "Around 500 pixels would allow people to walk down the street and recognise faces.
"Beyond where we are today it might be possible to make smart chips which have memory in them which would allow action replay and slow motion."
Dr Mathieson, from the University of Glasgow's department of physics, is working on the project with Dr James D Morrison from the neuroscience and biomedical systems department.
