The Eyeborg Project

Soon you may be able to see what filmmaker Rob Spence can’t. A micro-camera is to be installed in his prosthetic eye as part of the documentary eyeborg project: a work in progress. [ via Veer, RawFeed ]

I’ll definitely be following Rob Spence’s progress. I’ve always had a huge fascination with the cyborgization of the human body.

EYEBORG– The Two Week Trial from eyeborg on Vimeo.

Take a one eyed film maker, an unemployed engineer, and a vision for something that’s never been done before and you have yourself the EyeBorg Project. Rob Spence, Kosta Grammatis and a team of others are trying to make history by embedding a video camera and a transmitter in a prosthetic eye. That eye is going in Robs eye socket, and will record the world from a perspective that’s never been seen before.

This clip chronicles the first attempt at creating the eye– a two week hiatus of getting parts, assembling, and testing. Obviously we need a lab, and a bit more time. Can someone donate an oscilloscope?
