This appears to be the company doing the research, they're based in Victoria but the UNSW logo appears at the end of the video:

I am not an expert in the field or otherwise well-informed about the subject matter at hand, but it seems to me the major differences here are that it's wireless and that it communicates with a glasses-mounted camera that would hopefully be less obvious to a casual observer than the Borg-like implants that have been used to provide limited sight to the blind in the past.
So how is this different from the same thing that everyone is working on? Including, I might add, a consortium which includes the group who invented the cochlear implant.
