Micron is the big memory maker, parent of Crucial etc. and a long time ago
in a place far away Steve Ciarcia of Circuit Cellar Ink wrote of series of
project articles on using a I think, 64k ram chip as a video camera. IIRC
Micron was convinced to make a batch with a clear plastic resin, or maybe
just in a eprom body, but a number of little projects and products grew out
of it. I "believe" you can still buy them new, but haven't looked in some
time.

Here is a link, but I didn't find specifics on the Microneye.
