the i-cam
head-mounted camera that records eye direction | |
Walking down the street, your gaze flits from object to object - catching the eye of a stranger, reading a sign in the window, following a pigeon as it takes flight from a dustbin, noticing the CCTV cameras everywhere. I've often thought that a film that could capture that random-but-not-quite-random
sequence would have a particularly personal, spontaneous and poetic quality.
So the idea is to combine a head-mounted camera with one of those devices that tracks eye movement (either laser-based, or using a second camera). The main camera records what's in your field of vision; the eye-tracker isolates the precise point within each frame that you're actually looking at. A post-process would crop each frame around the attention point to create the final video.
It's small, but not _that_ small

And, I guess, it also records all those people staring at you because you're wearing this weird gizmo on your head. |

Even better would be a glass eye with a camera built in it. |
|
| |
or else, a contact lens that contains the camera and wireless transmitter on a transparent polymer circuit... |

Wow! Camera contact lenses? What a great idea, and feasible too... |
