EYEBORG-- The Two Week Trial from eyeborg on Vimeo.

Rob Spence - also knows as the 'Eyeborg' is a 36 year old Canadian film maker, he injured his eye when he was a boy in a shot gun accident, meaning he lost the use of his left eye. 20 years after the accident occurred, he has decided that he wants to push the boundaries with the prosthetic eye that he had. He decided to create a prosthetic eye that had a camera implanted within it - with the help from other people, so that he could have a camera as his second eye, recording everything that he sees rather than having a prosthetic eye that doesn't do anything, he wanted to make use of the disfigurement that he had, creating something new, creating what he calls the 'Eyeborg'.

To be honest I think it is amazing the things that technology allows us to produce today, the things that would of been unthinkable a few years ago, every year technology advances allowing new and amazing things to be produced.

The eyeborg has allowed him to 'see' again about of both his eyes, even though he can't actually see out of his prosthetic eye, its allowing him to record what he should be seeing, which is quite amazing.
