Square Enix releases non-fiction doc on the cyborgs of today

We may be a decade or two away from equipping real world Reflex Boosters, Sarif Series 8 Energy Converters and Icarus Landing Systems, but as Square Enix's newly released documentary on modern day cyborgs demonstrates, the futuristic world of Deus Ex: Human Revolution may be way more science than fiction.

Deus Ex: The Eyeborg Documentary was produced to augment the arrival of Square Enix's Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It was made by Toronto filmmaker Rob 'Eyeborg' Spence who – as his name subtly suggests – became something of a first generation cyborg himself after replacing a lost eye with a rudimentary camera system that transmits wireless RX signals to a nearby receiver, allowing him to live stream and record everything he sees.
