Olympus, the world’s top endoscope maker in the world is designing a disposable camera pill to look inside the human body. The device would replace current endoscope systems and will also have the capacity to extract fluids from body parts (storing them in a negatively-pressured space) and to deliver drugs in specific areas. With only 2.6 centimeters long and 1.1 centimeters in diameter, the camera pill will be released in about two years, says Olympus.

Another company, RF Systems, plans on start commercializing its own camera pill on early 2005, in China. That’s gotta be weird!
