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.'"

    If you were recording the bionic eye vision while drinking, would the recording get progressively blurred and distorted the more you drank?
    Even if not recording, would what you see be blurred (pixellated even) while drinking, or would you see perfectly?

    Get a few more guys to do this, and wear goggles (or embed something into the electronic image your eye shows you) that displays what your buddies are seeing. Very distracting for the first month or so, but it's a must-have for every up-and-coming Shadowrunning team!

      I am waiting for people in protest or in copwatching to do that.

    I've read the comments on the linked article "Film maker working on a bionic eye" and the comments read "fascinating future" "imagination" "great stuff" etc.

    Now the comments here read "Bad idea" "Privacy issues" "Police state" etc.

    So what the heck do you want?
