A Man Fitted a Camera in his Eye.



This might sound fictional & unbelievable but its true.
Canadian film maker Rob Spence, who damaged his right eye in a childhood accident, is determined to replace it with a digital camera. "Team Eyeborg" has just succeeded in fitting Spence with an artificial eye containing a working LED – a step towards a camera-containing synthetic eye.


Spence and engineer Kosta Gramatis have succeeded in placing a working red LED in Spence's eye giving him a look similar from Arnold Schwarzenegger's cyborg in The Terminator. This camera will record everything that enters Spence's field of vision and relay the footage back to a computer. That video will provide a unique perspective on the way video surveillance is becoming more popular in western societies... This image shows the components of the camera now present in his eye.

This brave man was armed only with his camera when he joined the anacondas in their natural habitat for ten(10) odd days. During his trip, he observed six female anacondas and went close to them to take their close-ups. This region which lies in the heart of South America is known for its greenery and natural beauty.
