Tanya Vlach lost her left eye in a horrific 2005 car accident; after a bout of depression, she realized there could be endless opportunities in a prosthetic eye that housed a tiny video camera, the Daily Mail reports.

Vlach's planned intra-ocular camera is souped up for 2011.

Her dream is to make it web optimized, perhaps with its own app, so movement could be controlled externally.

She'd like sensors that respond to blinking, enabling the camera to take still photographs, focus and turn on and off. The pupil would be sensitive to light change, dilating as a human eye would. There would also be functions for geo-tagging and facial recognition.

"I am interested in capitalizing on the current advancement of technology to enhance the abilities of my prosthesis for an augmented reality," Vlach writes on her website.

网络摄像头补上失去眼球

       据英国《每日邮报》报道,塔尼娅·瓦拉吉在2005年一次可怕的车祸中失去了自己的左眼,沮丧一段时间后,她意识到装有微型摄像头的义眼可以为她带来无尽的机会。

       她所期待的嵌入眼内的摄像头在今年会有突破进展。

       她希望微型摄像头能具有网络优化功能,实现外力操纵动作,而或许它本身的应用程序就能做到这点。

       她还想让传感器能对眨眼作出反应,使得摄像头能拍照片、聚焦、随意开关,瞳孔也能感受到光线变化,如同真正的眼睛一样可以放大,同时还兼具识路与认人的功能。

       瓦拉吉在自己的网站上表示:“我感兴趣的是如何充分利用当下先进的技术提高假眼功能,从而接触更大的世界。”
