Original Post “CALL FOR ENGINEERS”

Eye-Camera:

An intra-ocular installation of an eye-camera. An experiment in wearable technology, cybernetics, and perception.

For more info or if you want to help: tanya@eyetanya.com

Dimensions: Here are the measurements of the shell that I am currently wearing. It’s an oddly shaped shell and it’s hard to tell how much room there really is in there.

Thickness: 8 mm (Right below the iris – but it looks like there may be more thickness in other parts of the shell.) Length of Shell: 21 – 23 mm Iris: 12.25 mm Diameter Pupil (Lens/aperture) : 4.5 mm Diameter

Here is an article about my Ocularist, William Danz who is on board with the project:  http://articles.latimes.com/2005/apr/10/magazine/tm-eyeguy15

The scleral shell is made out of PMMA or poly(methyl methacrylate) Acrylic.

The installation would possibly entail putting the camera in the molding while it hardens or drilling after the fact. But I’m no engineer! Just sharing information that I’ve picked up.
