Thru the eye of a documentary filmmaker

Rob Spence, a Toronto-based filmmaker who was blinded in the right eye when he was a teenager, is turning his prosthetic eye into a camera he'll use while filming an upcoming documentary.

"I want to turn my prosthetic eye into a wireless video camera," he told CBC News Wednesday.

Spence, 36, had his eye removed three years ago and replaced with an artificial one. A fan of The Six Million Dollar Man, the 1970s television series about a man with bionic body parts, he said got the idea when he realized that something as small as his cellphone camera could fit into his empty eye socket.
