<p>Seems a little over-the-top to me. I can't believe someone commissioned this. What possible value does it have? JR</p>

<p>The implantation thing is really crazy and professor is getting out of this mind....</p>

<p>The camera is set up for a life of regret, always looking back at things this man has passed by.</p>

<p>This topic has been mentioned here before, in Nov. in the off-topic forum.</p>

<p>Very clever idea, with a touch of performance art and bringing into art the original helmet-cam guys.</p>

<p>He's a genious - how many of us as photographers have appeared in the NY Times? If you will pardon the pun, exposure is everything...<br>

<p>This is an unusual experiment, certainly. I wouldn't call him a genious, though. Ending up in the NYT for doing something which is borderline weird and will leave many people disgusted, is most likely not what everyone wants.</p>

<p>clinically speaking this is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-harm">automutulation</a></p>

<p>Mounting it to a hat would have made more sense. But then, no one would be talking about a hat-cam.</p>

<p>Does it shoot HD video too? What about image stabilization?</p>

<p>Would that be considered a ball head?</p>

<p>Not "meet .. head" the correct spelling is "meathead"</p>

<p>Maybe there are other places that a camera could be implanted?<br>

On the other hand, his head may already be up one of those places></p>
