Sorry, Circus, but that story sounds like a lot of Borg to me.

Seriously, if those cameras can be connected to the brain, make mine with anamorphic lenses, then I can see the world in wide screen.

Eye'm not sure about that article...

A camera eye is fine, but when are we going to see tank tracks for legs?

Now, let's not lose sight of the original posting

I'm going to keep an eye out for any follow-up to this story.

The eye itself is like a camera anyhow...your pupils dilate like a lens aperture to adjusts to light\darkness, and when you blink, your eyes are like a shutter that leaves an imprint of the image much like an exposure of film. But to have an actual camera for an eye...seems a bit unnatural.

If they could do this with a camera, hopefully one day this would lead to actually re-attaching an eye to the optic nerve (or replacing it) and allowing the eye to work again as it did before (i if they haven't already done this). However, if it's another eye, I wonder if the same possibility of rejection of the organ would exist as in the case of other organs?
