'Eyeborg'

Could you imagine, recording everything you see just by looking? That became possible for a Canadian gentleman named Rob Spence. Rob is filmmaker who lost his eye in a childhood accident. Instead of replacing it with an ordinary glass eye, he worked with a group of engineers to produce a robotic eyeball that is both a video camera and a wireless transmitter. My view on this subject is borderline 'yay' and 'nay'. I think instead of just settling for a prosthetic eye that has no value, Spence came up with a creative idea to support his current condition. Especially since he is interested in the whole sci-fi experience. It also makes his career a lot easier, and is a great advantage. On the other hand, the mini video camera is not too visually appealing. Regarding the public's privacy is another factor to take into consideration. People Rob interacts with won't know whether they are being filmed or not. Even on a typical day, people on the street easily can be caught on camera without them even knowing.

This relates to both topics we discussed in our optics unit; parts of the eye and lenses.
