EYEBORG– The Two Week Trial from eyeborg on Vimeo.
The gadget in the picture above is a camera that would fit any eye. It would fit even better with a prosthetic eye. Filmmaker Rob Spence has lost an eye as a child and he has created such a device. At a media conference in Brussels he explained the first version of “Project Eyeborg”. That’s a micro camera powered by a small battery and coming with a tiny transmitter, all bound together on a small circuit board. The camera will be used in a documentary about surveillance:

In Toronto there are 12,000 cameras. But the strange thing I discovered was that people don’t care about the surveillance cameras, they were more concerned about me and my secret camera eye because they feel that is a worse invasion of their privacy.

The next logical step is to bind that camera to the optic nerve and voila, a new eye will be born.
