Man to Use His Prosthetic Eye to Record Documentary

This is pretty creepy!

Perezhilton.com is reporting that Rob Spence, a filmmaker from Canada that lost his vision and has therefore resorted to using a prosthetic eye, is planning to turn his eye into a miniature wireless video camera to record his own documentary!

The documentary will be about the wide use of surveillance cameras. Reportedly, the subjects will not know they are being recorded, because according to Spence,
"When you bring in a camera, people change".

The camera is currently in the process of being designed by Steven Mann, a professional engineer. The camera is said to be no bigger than the size of a pea, making it incredibly discreet for this project. Like most cameras, this one will still come with a battery and wires, which will be hooked up to Spence's prosthetic eye. Sounds painful!
