Meet filmmaker who replaced his eyeball with a camera to conduct documentaries..The 43-year-old (Spence)can switch the camera on and off at the tap of a button..Spence - who now calls himself Eyeborg - said the eye-cam allows him to conduct interviews without the intrusion or distraction of bulky cameras or film crews. The eye-cam resembles a regular prosthetic eye but it is embedded with a camera.
Spence cannot see out of the lense but a what the 'eye' can see is visible from a handheld monitor.
But due to the technology within the camera, it can only be used for three minutes at a time without overheating.
Spence said:
"Literally everybody [said] it as a joke - ‘Oh, you should get an eye camera'.
"The two reactions are, ‘Wow, that’s so cool’ — and, after a few moments’ reflection, ‘But that’s so creepy'.
“I’ve actually started wondering, do we want to have constant video of our lives? It’s just another data set. And I don’t know the answer, but I think no, we don’t want that. But it’s coming anyway."
The decision came also because his eye was not working..
