A research group hailing from Saarland University in Germany has developed a camera, dubbed Eyecam, which bears a striking resemblance to a human eye. Not only does it replicate the physical appearance of a real eye, but it also mimics its movements, with the lens discreetly nestled in the center of the “eyeball”. Internally, the device is powered by six micro-motors, enabling it to replicate both involuntary and voluntary physiological actions. These include incessant blinking, spontaneous movement, and reactions to external stimuli. The research team clarified that the primary objective behind this design was to endow the camera with a more “human-like” quality, thereby enriching the human-computer interaction experience. As of now, Eyecam is still a prototype confined to the laboratory, with no immediate plans for large-scale production.
