Prosthetic eye digital camera

Kickstarter is such a great site. Anyone can pitch, and raise money for, any idea they have. The good ones raise their money and move on. There are so many good ideas out there and so much money to fund them, but so often the two never quite meet. Thanks to the internet for bringing cool ideas to fruition!

I'm in awe of this invention primarily because I think it's just the beginning of some really interesting prosthetics. Perhaps one day this sort of thing may actually be able to sync to the optic nerve and deliver real time digital vision.

"Vlach turned to Kickstarter for donations that would allow her to install a unique, waterproof in-eye camera, theoretically capable of transmitting 720p HD video wirelessly to a mobile app, and zooming and capturing still images using a blink-activated sensor."
