Film-maker replaces eye with camera

A Canadian film-maker has replaced his own false eye with a camera - and is to let the world see what he sees. Toronto-based Rob Spence, 36, lost his right eye in a shooting accident on his grandfather's farm as a teenager, reports the Daily Telegraph. He has built a new false eye containing a wireless video camera that runs on a tiny three-volt battery. It contains a wireless transmitter, which allows him to transmit what he is seeing in real time to a computer. Mr Spence, who calls himself the 'Eyeborg guy', says: "Unlike you humans, I can continue to upgrade." The eye was built with the help of Steve Mann, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an expert in "cyborg" technology. Mr Spence wants to use the camera to record "truer" conversations than would be possible with a handheld camera. "When you bring a camera, people change," he says. "I wouldn't be disarming at all. I would just be some dude. It's a much truer conversation." His subjects would only become aware that they were being filmed after the conversation was over. Then he would give them a chance to sign, or not sign, a release form permitting him to use the footage. He says: "There's ethical issues with that, but I am a filmmaker. If you're averse to it, that's fine, don't sign the release form. I won't put you in the documentary." Source: orange news
