When Canadian filmmaker Rob Spence lost an eye, due to a child accident, like so many before he was given a purely prosthetic replacement for "display purposes" alone. However, using his knowledge of the film industry Rob Spence has been working with a technology company to replace his prosthetic eye with a wireless video camera. It would appear that we have seen the birth of the real "Terminator".
Nicknamed the "Eyeborg", the filmmaker is currently sporting a fully functioning LED in his damaged eye socket which the experts predict they can replace with a working online cam which will relay all images back to a computer where they can be stored. It would appear that the idea behind the venture is to show the ongoing increase in video surveillance becoming ever more popular around the world, with the UK in particular heading this field.
Currently Rob Spence has the look of "The Terminator" although there are hopes that the technology, which should eventually see a working web cam fitted to his eye socket, could in some way assist those with similar issues in the future. Technology has moved ahead in leaps and bounds over the last few years although not many people would ever have guessed we would see the emergence of a real "Terminator". |
