A film maker who lost one of his eyes as a child is installing a camera into his prosthetic for his latest film.

There was a similar story in the BBC (there is a link somewhere in the forum) about a doc in the UK that was able to create a cybereye to allow blind people to see again. All good work.

this camera will work more like a hidden camera recording, then allow him to see with his lost eye...

hobgoblin,

That is true; however, coupled with the tech mentioned by TBRMInsanity, you could have a wireless link to the optic nerve. Or hardwire, given the distances.

yep. the big issue is the conversion hardware...

We'll figure that one out at some point in the future.
