I Spy with My Little Eye… Hey! Is that a Camera Filming Me in Your Eyeball?

Canadian documentary filmmaker Rob Spence plans on becoming a “human surveillance machine,” whereby he’ll unknowingly film subjects as a means to explore privacy issues and whether or not we are ”sleepwalking into an Orwellian society.”

How will he do this?  By placing a camera inside his prosthetic eye, which will be controlled by his muscles. Dude, that’s awesome. 

Via The San Francisco Chronicle:

Canadian Rob Spence’s eye was damaged in a childhood shooting accident and it was removed three years ago. Now, he is in the final stages of developing a camera to turn the handicap into an advantage.

A fan of the 1970s televsion series “The Six Million Dollar Man,” Spence said he had an epiphany when looking at his cell phone camera and realizing something that small could fit into his empty eye socket.

His special equipment will consist of a camera, originally designed for colonoscopies, a battery and a wireless transmitter.

Makes one wonder what else they’ll be sticking cameras into in the future. Nipples, perhaps? Your shaft’s head. Hmm, maybe not. Some things sound better as theories, than when they are executed.
