Send In The Eyeball
from the hello-science-fiction dept
The FCC has given approval to an "eyeball camera" that police can use to try to get a better view of an ongoing situation. It sounds like something out of a science fiction story, but the technology isn't particularly complicated and, if anything, it's surprising this wasn't already in widespread use (it is in other countries, apparently). It's just a small camera with a wireless transmitter packed inside a "rugged rubber and polyurethane housing." Basically, it's a wireless camera the size of a baseball that the police can throw into a location to get a picture of what's going on. Of course, that "size of a baseball" bit seems problematic. Aren't most criminals going to notice when a big rubber baseball flies into the room where they're holding hostages?

Or maybe they could just setup speed cameras behind the plate at the stadiums which record photos of hot prospects.
