Abstract(in English) Visual prostheses are the one to recover the visual sense by means of engineering techniques. They have been developed in and out of our country. Although the ultimate goal is to restore the excellent human visual function perfectly, presently it is simed realize the minimal visual function in order for to carry out a specific task in their daily lives. It is essential for us to evaluate the necessary function of visual prostheses in order to realize such a visual function. Therefore we have developed a system which enables us to experience the visual world produced by a visual prosthesis. Then we applied our system to quantitative evaluation of the reading ability, which is one of the typical tasks in our daily lives. As a result, It was revealed that the electric current intensity for stimulation has small effect to the reading ability.
