Filmmaker plans to use a small "eye camera"

I was taking a film class during my freshman year at EWU when a student suggested that somebody replace their eye with a camera and film what they see all day.

That was when he wasn't mumbling to himself in the corner of the room and making awkward, weird noises that freaked every else.

But apparently he was onto something with the eye thing.

BRUSSELS, March 5 (Reuters) - A Canadian filmmaker plans to have a mini camera installed in his prosthetic eye to make documentaries and raise awareness about surveillance in society.

Rob Spence, 36, who lost an eye in an accident as a teenager, said his so-called Project Eyeborg is to have the camera, a battery and a wireless transmitter mounted on a tiny circuit board.
