Rob Spence is Eyeborg
Talk about laying the primitive ground work yourself, Rob Spence lost an eye in a gun accident and went on to inspire a small group of engineers to build him a prosthetic eye with a wireless video camera in it.

This experience led Rob to make a documentary film about the human "cyborg people" that are living today. Check out the Eyeborg blog for clips about the cyborg people Rob interviews for the film. A blind man, named Miika Terho, is participating in a research program that has connected a video signal to his optic nerve allowing him to see objects like a banana. eyeborgblog.com
