Vorsicht! In diesem Video gibts explizite Augen-OPs zu sehen, vor allem zu Beginn. Nix für Zartbesaitete, ich habe Euch gewarnt, dass mir hinterher keine Klagen kommen!
Ich verfolge Rob Spences Eyeborg-Projekt schon eine ganze Weile (vorher auf Nerdcore: Die Kamera im künstlichen Auge, Eyeborg on Wired), der Mann hat bei einem Unfall vor ein paar Jahren ein Auge verloren und will es nun durch eine Kamera ersetzen. Dieses Video zeigt die ersten Versuche. Hat jemand ein Oszilloskop übrig?
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?
Wow, das find ich tierisch interessant. Ich bin sowie so gespannt, was eher kommt: Künstliche (und auch wirklich gut funktionierende) oder nachgezüchtete Organe und Gliedmaßen.
@Nils: Eher kommt ne Mischung aus beidem, denk ich; voll Bionic und so.
“The last project he worked on had something to do with satellites. It obviosly made him happy.” herrlich :D
Bin auch sehr gespannt was da in Zukunft noch auf uns zukommt.
Und die AugenOP am Anfang rechtfertigt deine Warnung in vollem Umfang ^^
I’m not sure if I read about a similar project here on nerdcore or somewhere else some time ago. The Californian artist / filmmaker Tanya Vlach left one of her eyes in an accident in 2005. In 2008 she publicly announced for an engineer to install a miniature camera implant in her prosthetic eye.
As I get the idea right as it is stated here in the article on Rob Spence, there are no plans on directly interfacing the eye-cam with the brain.
In her blog Tanya Vlach emphasized some day that she never planned to interface her eye-prosthesis directly to her brain, neither that she planned to use it for the production of an 24-hour-live-show of her all day live to the public. She had to make this clear, because she often was misinterpreted in these points.
The current research status on interfacing cameras to brains seems still far away from practical use in all day live. But each step in this direction counts, even if this kind of project has the only effect to accustom the world to the idea itself.
I didn’t follow the blog of Tanya Vlach so I don’t know about the current status of her project, which you can find here: tanyavlach.wordpress.com
Good Luck, Rob Spence, and to all the other people in the avant-garde!
@from: Thanks for the Link. I mentioned Tanyas Project in one of the first Postings about the Eyeborg-Project, but I didn’t follow Tanyas Blog. Until now ;)
