Eye Video Camera

Filmmaker shows off eye-mounted wireless video camera

Check this out.  This filmmaker invented a eye mounted wireless video camera that he can plans to use to film a documentary.  He lost an eye as a child and so he has a prosthetic eye.

This would have a very good use for blind people, that is if it had a chip that attached to the brain so that the blind person can see everything that the bionic eye can see.  They could remove the blind eyes and put in 2 prosthetic eyes with the camera installed into them.  I don't see how you would be able to move the eyes though so I don't know how that would work.  Although, they could just remove 1 eye because you probably only need 1 good eye to see.

I can see some other uses for this like for example video making, since it's wireless you can have it recording to a hard drive in your pocket like the size of a USB drive then when you are finished recording you can put it on your computer to edit.

But the con side of that is you could be intimate with someone and they won't know that you are video taping and then you could put it all over the internet and that person would be humiliated forever.

But, I can also see a good side.  If you are robbed at gunpoint or maybe even killed the police can look at the video to see who robbed and or killed you.

Piracy would be so much easier with this too.  People would go to the movies and be video taping it with their eye, they'd have to keep real still, don't sneeze.  Then put it out there for all to see.  Same with concerts.  It's bad enough that there are too many pirates out there stealing money from the movie industry by selling illegal DVDs, I can just imagine that they would find out that they are using a bionic eye then they would have an eye scanner all over the place so you can't record.  But what if you are blind?  What then?

There are many pros and cons to this and I'm not exactly sure if this will ever happen but who knows, it might be sooner than you think.  I'm sure it will cost several thousands of dollars and it will only go to those who can't see and there probably won't be a hard drive for video taping but more a chip attached to the brain for blind people to see.  That's fair enough.  If they knew it could be used for illegal purposes then they would become illegal to have very fast.
