The eye of the Internet makes one aware that Internet not only knows everything, but is also sees everything, courtesy of the many Webcams at the space.
The eye communicates with you by changing its color. When nobody is watching, it is green. When somebody (or somethings) requests the webcams public URL, the eye turns to yellow and starts (pulsating / rotating). The more requests , the more red the color is and faster the lights move.
Steel structure
Components so far :
- A gear
- A thin slice from a electromotor stator
- A lot of nails large nails
- Pieces of rebar
Build process :
Cleaned, and mounted in a triangle. Triangle cost a surprising amount of effort, especially starting from bent junk rebar.
The uncleaned result.
The welding process.
Te final study before welding.
The back of the iris. I should have grinded the zinc coating first. It became really messy and required a lot of electrodes.
The completed iris.
After welding bunch of nails to each other, and burning them in the process, a I decided that I really needed a frame to carry the eye edge.
Second study
Initial study
Electronics hardware
- 12.50 Euro - Arduino nano V3 clone
- 4 Euro - ENC28J60 Ethernet LAN Network Module
- 14 eur for 100 pcs. RGB leds
- 2.60 - 100x160m pcb, 0.5 mm
- en een ULN2803 heeft acht kanalen,( max 12 ledjes er aanhangen ?)
- de 7 kanaals variant is 1/3de van de prijs
Software
- een trigger krijgen per request (1 per stream-begin) van de server, de streams hebben een TTL, dus dat is ook voldoende qua quesstimate. De rate, per seconden via een colormap.
Cool ideas
- als je het helemaal fancy wil laat je eventueel wat geluiden via het space sound systeem lopen. Note that SSS start versterkers on demand op, en dat duurt even.
- SSS opstarten bij inbraak zou wel een mooie functie zijn: EXTERMINATE! samples door de space laten schallen
- een (gemotoriseerd) ooglid voor privacy control.
- een kwadrant/slice van t oog kan verlichten, gebaseerd op richting van de obstakel/ persoon die dichtbij staat.
- de volgende versie heeft oogleden/wimpers van gasvlammen. / Teslaspoelen die vlambogen produceren!
