Law Enforcement Agencies are Limited in their Abilities to Collect Hard Evidence. Juries demand a high level of certainty for convictions. Current surveillance technologies increase the risk of exposure to agents.

How Can We Turn Undercover Agents into an Invisible Television Crew? Equip them with a DORD. Enables undetectable, at will recording of eyesight. Data can be used in criminal cases as evidence.

What is a DORD? Digital Ocular Recording Device. Implant that connects to the optic nerves. Digitizes and stores human eyesight. Stored data is accessible with current technology.

What Technologies are Involved in a DORD? Undeveloped Technologies Design an electrode capable of connecting to optic nerves. Design an electrode capable of connecting to optic nerves. Software to digitize electro-chemical signals. Software to digitize electro-chemical signals. Surgical methods for implanting the DORD. Surgical methods for implanting the DORD. Existing Technologies A safely implantable RF device with encryption capabilities. A safely implantable RF device with encryption capabilities. Materials that can be safely implanted into the human body to house the DORD. Materials that can be safely implanted into the human body to house the DORD.
