Here’s a shot Steve Mann took of me in the lab last night.

Steve is an ace photographer as well as a cyborg/scientist.

You can see one of the camera modules a company sent to us next to my prosthetic eye.

Cool hein?

    This is the first time I have heard someone trying to put an camera into their eyesocket…the idea was mesmerizing!
    Cant wait to see the first footage from your eye.

    The first thought I had was the battery in the cam…for how long will you be able to film do you think?

    Congratulations for your initiative!
    I have a father that has glaucome in a very advanced stage, unfortunately, maybe your device once ready can help him.
    Please keep me posted.

    Hey thanks for the comments.

    Not considering getting sight restored right now. Just want a bionic camera.

    The battery is in the prototype stage right now so I don’t know. But stay tuned.

    hello,

    I’m just wondering why the prosthetic eye is that shape and not more round?

    It is a surprising shape! Is it so the muscles can hold on to it better? To prevent the eye from rolling the wrong way?

    Just curious! I’m excited to see how your project unfolds.
