This is so cool—a guy named Rob Spence who injured one of his eyes in a childhood accident wants to have a mini-camera implanted in his eye socket. Naturally, and possibly ironically, he wants to make a secret documentary, filming people without their knowledge and commenting on how our society is coming to terms with 24/7 surveillance of our lives.
And he calls himself “Eyeborg.” Love the sense of humor. Here’s his blog about the project.
The video is good and gives the basics. Spence got the idea while looking at his cell phone camera and realized the same technology could be placed into a realistic-looking prosthetic eye.
Of course, some will say this is creepy and foretells the end of civilization as we know it! Then again, I always thought the Borg were (was?) cool—so efficient.
