  Well there have been projects before in which people wore a camera taking photos all the time. Then you kind of have a ‘life record’. One of the problems here is just sorting and organising the massive amounts of pictures collected.
  Today, phones kind of do this a bit. They store and organise loads of photos for us, and record where we’ve been. There are going to be some exciting developments in this area in the coming years I think.
  
  This is course doesn’t replace eyes. I’m sure there are people working on artificial eyes but I don’t know much about that I’m afraid. What this can do potentially is act like an ‘external memory’ – time will tell if it has any interesting uses!
