PROSTHETIC EYE TRANSFORMED INTO A VIDEO CAMERA

Top technology achievements of 2009

Canada’s filmmaker Rob Spence, who lost his right eye when he was a child, shows a prototype of a prosthetic eye which will be transformed into a video camera, during a conference in Brussels. Spence, director and producer in Toronto, said he would use the eye-cam the same way he uses a video camera to carry out the so-called “EyeBorg Project”. In using his eye as a wireless video camera, Spence wants to make a documentary about how video and humanity intersect especially with regards to surveillance.
