Is it possible that Magnet implants can help the blind

I was wondering if a person that is completely blind got a magnet implant would it help him/her to get some sort of awareness of the environmental around them then they could scene the magnetic world around them replace the visual world we r used to because of the magnet implant

  1. This is my first post so if I make a mistake or two sorry about that

  2. Actually, I was speaking with a person who was blind at bodyhax who had a device using sound to move around a room. The device was worn similarly to a watch. It didn't utilize magnets but I imagine u could design something utilizing mags as the sensory input for the person's body and get better spacial resolution.

  3. By themselves though? No.
