Electronic demon costume is surprisingly unnerving
- R_Edward 14y agoAnyone else think the costume would be about 17% more unnerving if the demon's face didn't look as if it had just been smacked with a cartoon frying pan?
- Gring 14y agoI don't know. It kinda fits the cartoon eyes ;-)
- shardling 14y agoI wonder how hard it would be for the digital eyes to track your actual eyeball motion. I guess it would be tricky to fit an optical sensor under that under the mask, but maybe you can track eyeball motion by tracking the muscle movement around the eye? Some quick tests (i.e. placing my hand on my face and moving my eyes around wildly) suggests that it might be doable. :) Possibly just by tracking how your nose twitches...
- Gring 14y agoThat's a great idea! But eyes that are randomly wandering around are actually kinda creepy, too... :-)

- mistercow 14y agoI wholeheartedly disagree. It would be exactly 15.8% more unnerving. But in all seriousness, I'll bet it would make a lot less difference in the dark.
- mcguire 14y agoOn the contrary, if you lived through 1970's and possibly '80's TV science fiction, you saw lots of scary robots that had oddly projecting faces. With that in mind, it's almost 4.2% more unnerving than the alternatives.

- mcguire 14y agoI was thinking more along the lines of the Mr. X thing (http://bionic.wikia.com/wiki/Day_of_the_Robot http://bionic.wikia.com/wiki/Day_of_the_Robot) or perhaps the lovely and talented Mr. R.I.N.G.

- papalalu 14y agoit's cool. but it is in no way unnerving.
- pavel_lishin 14y agoI think it would be much more unnerving in real life.
- chunsaker 14y agoNot unnerving, but pretty awesome!

- katabatic 14y agoMajor props for the reading material at the end. That's one of the best books on programming ever written, imo.
