The image to the right (albeit hand drawn) is not for the ocularly sensitive. What you see there is an actual video camera that can be mounted directly onto the lens of the human eye, reported on Monday by New Scientist. The transmission projected onto the back of the eye is then interpreted by nerve cells into an actual image.

Used as an artificial eye, this would be a great tool for the blind and near blind. Alternately, signals can be transmitted to an external hard drive, much to the delight of unwashed lifebloggers everywhere.
