This is beyond rad. Tanya Vlach, has a prosthetic eye. She asked the smarty-pants in the engineering world to help create a web-cam that could fit inside the acrylic shell of her prosthetic eye. This camera could be controlled with a remote and a smartphone application. I'm equally impressed with the dialogue that is surrounding her proposition; what truly makes an 'eye', what 'vision' really means, and how human you can/can't be with a prosthetic, kinetic eye. Blame the art-school part of me.
With 13 days left in her Kickstarter pledge-building phase...I kinda' want to see her succeed. No, she is not a cyborg. No, she is not planning to become a spy. And, no, she is not using the camera for a 24-hour looped television show. She's just aiding her own dream, and potentially the dreams of others. Feel free to check out her pledge-page, here.
