  ~EyeFollow~

Inspiration

The sculpture is inspired by the judgmental nature of society today as depicted by how the eye follows and squints at the viewers. The bold and unusual colors of the facial features remind viewers to be comfortable in their own skin.

What it does

EyeFollow is an art sculpture for entertaining purposes.

How we built it

EyeFollow uses a Raspberry Pi, Pi camera, and computer vision to detect human that walks by it. It uses servos to moving the eyeball and eyelids.

Challenges we ran into

We had challenges on motor speed. We couldn't get the motor to move slowly so we changed up our design. We also had some trouble with the computer vision on Raspberry Pi, but we made it to work.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of how the whole thing came out and how we completed the sculpture in less then 24 hours. We worked as a team to come up we a doable project and finished our tasks assigned.

What we learned

We learned that making silly things with electronics is very fun. It brought our friendship closer in this busy school semester.

What's next for EyeFollow

EyeFollow can be improved by having better computing power for better human detection. It can also improved by having more motors and electronics for different facial features movement.
