Through this project, Rob Spence was just replace the damaged eye is by planting a tiny camera into it.

This camera can not replace a damaged eye because it can not serve to make her eyes look back, but by planting a small camera in it, Rob can transmit what it sees to the small screen and can record it all.

In the artificial eye is a camera there is a small, battery and transmitter. It is by far the innovation is still very simple and can be said as a small surveillance camera shaped eyes.

With a camera embedded in the prosthetic eye, Spance can now record all anyone sees unnoticed. Spence admitted was inspired by "Steve Austin", a character in the film "Six Million Dollar Man" that replace the original eye with bionic eyes to improve the ability to see.

The idea put the camera in this Prosthetic eye began when Spence saw a camera phone. At that moment he realized that the size of the camera phone is very small and very likely embedded in the prosthetic eye. Chimera was then realized with the help of several scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Tools that are created consists of camera-made "colonoscopies", battery, and transmitter. Everything is immersed in a prosthetic eye that is targeted to be realized next month. Artificial eye color was deliberately contrived as the original eye color.

Having a camera in a very favorable eye Spance recognized as a filmmaker, especially for documentaries. He can record the whole thing naturally without realizing his interlocutor. Still, Spence said, it will ask permission to people who recorded if you want to be shown in the film.

On the other hand, Spance also realized that the people around him will be more careful now are close by following the superclass's capabilities, mini camera provided by Omni Vision Inc., a company based in California

Manufactures special miniature cameras on mobile phones, laptops and the endoscope, Zafer Zamboglu technical staff Omni Vision product manager, said the success of the camera's eye will expand the research will be technology to restore vision to the blind.
However, it is not impossible that the future will have a refinement of the design to make it more aesthetically appealing. *** [GIZMAG.COM | HR | PIKIRAN RAKYAT 15092011]
