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.'"

    Do you think we can persuade John Malkovich to have one of these bionic eyes fitted and turn fiction into reality?

    As soon as he looks at some copyrighted material, the *AA will find him and gouge out his blood-dripping, cyborg eye.

      He needs an eye patch when going to the cinema. In other words, he would have to look like a pirate in order to not be accused to be one. :-)

    When we break the light barrier, we meet the one true God.

    And he will hand us a speeding ticket.
