Bionic-Eyed Man Wants To Stream Eye Video Online

Posted by timothy on from the except-for-the-blackout-moments dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to this IEEE article, Canadian filmmaker Rob Spence, who calls himself Eyeborg because he replaced his false right eye with a bionic one, is showing off his latest prototype. The new bionic eye contains a battery-powered, wireless video camera that can transmit a low-res feed to a nearby receiver. Now Spence plans to share his 'vision' online, literally. According to the IEEE article, 'soon people will be able to log on to his video feed and view the world through his right eye.'"

    The police will rip your eyes out and than charge you with a crime.

    Just don't let him in your house. Problem solved.

    But don't eat boogers on the bus either. Or scratch your balls when your walking in the park.

    A bionic eye would, by my understanding of the notion of bionics, actually help this man see.

    If he cant see out of it, how is it considered bionic? Shoving a camera in your eye socket is no different then wearing one around your neck really.
