Filmmaker Working On Eye-Socket Camera

An anonymous reader writes "Wired has a story about Rob Spence, a Canadian filmmaker who plans to have a mini camera installed in his prosthetic eye. 'A camera module will have to be connected to a transmitter inside the prosthetic eye that can broadcast the captured video footage. To boost the signal, he says he can wear another transmitter on his belt. A receiver attached to a hard drive in a backpack could capture that information and then send it to another device that uploads everything to a web site in real time. ... Even though his project is still in its early stages, Spence says many people have already told him they wouldn't be comfortable being filmed. "People are more scared of a center-left documentary maker with an eye than the 400 ways they are filmed every day at the school, the subway, the mall," he says. He hopes he will help get people thinking about privacy, how surveillance cameras and the footage they record are being used and accessed.'" Spence runs a blog for the 'Eyeborg Project,' as he calls it, and has recently posted a video about the progress they're making.

replay up peoples rears will be like shit hitting the fanny, like a "HOLE NEW FORM" for "analog", and the upshot of the imprint will a lot of uncomfortable negatives to dislodge.

It will have people tripping and reeling so much it'll take several genetic mutations to overcome the shift, and, then, we can all hail, "The anal log is the new ear drum".
