GADGETS - GEEK ART

San Francisco artist Tanya Vlach lost an eye in a car accident several years ago. And now she wants a webcam installed in her prosthetic presumably so she can catch the Simpsons later on in the night.
Tanya reasons that her aesthetic-only eye could become a source of
"augmented reality," and she's got a list of possible specs up on her
blog for would-be engineers to begin with. Just some of the things
mentioned for inclusion are: DVR capabilities, MPEG-4 compression, a
microSD slot, A/V out, and Bluetooth.
It would be cool to be Tanya now especially if Tanya were actually a guy. You could close your working eye and have the other opened while it records everything. Damn, did I just give her an idea? Monocular San Francisco artist wants webcam installed in her prosthetic eye [engadget]
