1. EYEBORG-- The Two Week Trial

by eyeborg

8 months ago

Take a one eyed film maker, an unemployed engineer, and a vision for something that's never been done before and you have yourself the EyeBorg Project. Rob Spence, Kosta Grammatis and a team of others are trying to make history by embedding a video camera and a transmitter in a prosthetic eye. That eye is going in Robs eye socket, and will record the world from a perspective that's never been seen before.

This clip chronicles the first attempt at creating the eye-- a two week hiatus of getting parts, assembling, and testing. Obviously we need a lab, and a bit more time. Can someone donate an oscilloscope?

Synced or not: I love the project... Unfortunately, I'm also a zero-dollar-man.
eyeborg 8 months ago

the project loves you as well! :)
david sutherland 8 months ago

yeah - out of sync (try different codec before uploading) - mpegstreamclip can be easy to use and helpful.

(btw - you're linked on drudgereport.com today)

very cool

Sorry about the sync issue. I think I fixed it but if not, message me and I'll see what else we can do.
eyeborg 8 months ago

you are awesome. All synced up and brilliant. Thank you. Mr. Hayek!

high five.

This is fantastic. Been following it since the first time I saw an article on digg. Good luck.

cool project!

Cool. If one could actually see with one of these (in higher definition and magnification than the naked eye), and can power it on body energy, then I'd gladly sacrifice my real eyes for a set. I bet it'd make for some cool music videos.

Oops, once you let the smoke out of something electronic, it no longer works. This will happen and it will be a success. Setbacks=bummer, but only temporary. Thanks for the cool video and if I had a O'scope to lend, it'd be on the way.

I think Apple engineers already patented this. They call it the iball.

Spence, you probably don't remember me, but I met your randomly through my former roommate Daniel in Toronto. You got me an interview at Matrox in Montreal, by introducing me to a friend of yours there. This project is right up my ally - I'm currently doing a master's in Germany in digital communications, specializing in robotic vision. You probably don't need any more help (if you do let me know), but send me updates - I'm very interested. chrisfriedt@gmail.com

Love it. Even just watching your short film about the first two weeks left me smiling all the way through. Good luck with your project.

profoundly awesome. I remember reading an article off Digg about this a loooong time ago. good to see some updated fruition.

I am an artist. Art is problem solving. I have been disabled for half my art career. Disability is problem solving. I am older, totally low in tech skills....(found this via truthdig.com I think).

I am pleased to report that a nontech person could view the video and understand "enough". It is a question of time before EYEBORG is, sooner rather than later, I suspect. Bravo. And thanks to all the people who volunteer.

My spouse is a scientist (biology). It is clear that there is a link between science and art, always. Good luck.

Very best wishes to you Rob and all, you are doing crucial work.

I got the sync problem just now.

I'm from England - a zero-pound man.

Best of luck with this project. It looks very interesting. Too bad I'm just computer tech guy, not an electronic tech wiz, so couldn't offer any help =)
