To celebrate the launch of critically acclaimed video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Square Enix has commissioned filmmaker Rob Spence aka Eyeborg (a self proclaimed cyborg who lost an eye replaced it with a wireless video camera) to investigate prosthetics, cybernetics and human augmentation. How far are we from the future presented to us in Deus Ex: Human Revolution?
Adam Jensen is the main character of the recently published action role-playing game Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Adam comes in 2027 when a serious attack nearly killed. Only through the augmentation of his body with biomechanical implants and prostheses could be saving lives. Through this engagement, Adam Jensen can now run faster, jump higher, throw farther and see better. Everything is fiction? How far removed from today's technology?
This question goes to the filmmaker Rob Spence in his short film "Deus Ex: The Documentary Eyeborg" after. He calls himself "Eyeborg" because after he lost an eye, he let it be replaced by a prosthesis with a video camera - he can see in that eye but nothing but that film. Now he makes his way around the globe to the "cyborg" to meet today's and to determine how far the technology is actually today already - you'll be surprised.

Adam Jensen ist der Hauptcharakter des gerade erschienenen Action-Rollenspiels Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Im Jahre 2027 kommt Adam bei einem schweren Attentat beinahe ums Leben. Nur durch die Augmentierung seines Körpers mit biomechanischen Implantaten und Prothesen konnte sein Leben gerettet werden. Durch diesen Eingriff kann Adam Jensen nun schneller laufen, höher springen, weiter werfen und besser sehen. Alles nur Fiktion? Wie weit ist die heutige Technik davon entfernt?
Dieser Frage geht der Filmemacher Rob Spence in seinem Kurzfilm „Deus Ex: The Eyeborg Documentary" nach. Er selbst nennt sich „Eyeborg", denn nachdem er ein Auge verloren hat, ließ er es sich durch eine Prothese mit einer Videokamera ersetzen -- er kann auf diesem Auge zwar nichts sehen, aber damit filmen. Nun macht er sich auf den Weg rund um den Globus um die „Cyborgs" von heute zu treffen und um festzustellen, wie weit die Technik heute eigentlich schon ist -- Sie werden überrascht sein.

I hate to watch commercial adds before the youtube videos.
