Oddly enough, we've seen mouth-mounted cameras before, but those have typically been used more for sport and less for serious matters. Chinavasion, of all companies, has just introduced its very own wireless dental camera, which puts a 1.3-megapixel camera on the end of a toothbrush-like apparatus in order to snap shots and transmit them wirelessly to a nearby display. Trying to find a respectable way to talk your kid out of dental school? $103.13 should provide all the necessary grossness to sway their decision.[Via CNET]
This looks like it would come in handy to see what's behind a door.
I have the analogic version of this, it's a "mirror"
This might come useful for a lot of things - the last one is checking your mouth.
But the use of technology for more useful things about your health is increasing by the hour. As it's mentioned here: http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=526&doc_id=147482&f_src=flffour it's being used to check blood pressure, temperature, etc and transmit it back to a receiver and sometimes directly to a doctor.
I wonder if this is the device to confirm if the sun really doesn't shine where the sun don't shine?
No wonder is now holding his toothbrush, pointing at my screen/
No wonder is James now holding his toothbrush, pointing at my screen/
Ooooh! I love these word jumbles!
No, James is now pointing his wonder toothbrush at my holding screen /
Down towards the bottom there is one called "Extreme Home Hobbyist CMOS Endocamera with Lights"
with the warning "Chinavasion accepts no responsibility for misuse in examining bodily orifices. "
I found that funny.
well ya gotta be shrewd in biz-ness these days. don't forget the fetishists!
My dentist had technology exactly like this 2 years ago.

if you have been to the dentist lately...you might know that they use these and it makes it a hell-of a lot easier to, for example, see some tooth decay on your upper right molar. You can see exactly what they are talking about when they say you have a cavity or anything else that you did not know about. Let me see you hold a light in your mouth and check out one of your upper molars or the back sides of some teeth...
As far as seeing around/under doors, it might be useful, but you would have to make sure that this thing will focus farther then a few inches because that is what it is designed to do. I am not sure if it would or not. Nice to see this for around a Benjamin!
They could use stock footage and talk you into fake treatment!
so, I bought one... then discovered teeth in my butt!!..go figure.

still not funny
HA.
your humor processor seems to be set to 'suck'.
double fail.
It is somewhat funny, it's a play on the misuse of such devices as suggested by several others here.
"Trying to find a respectable way to talk your kid out of dental school?"
Yeah but then you may find he's practicing to be a gynecologist with the girl next door.
I just don't understand why it has a "Channel Select for Multiple Cameras"?
Are they expecting group oral examination parties?
I tried using one of these but all I saw was China
This has to be the FUNNIEST headline that i have read!
