This is EyeMech ε3.4 with real-time on-board face tracking feature. The eyeball will continuously chase human face and eyelids will naturally blink. It is also compatible with our handheld controller.

You can choose between

  • Print Yourself Kit
  • Full Kit
  • Assembled & Tested Mechanism

The Print Yourself Kit assume you can print the 3D printed parts (See Step 1 below) at home and allow you to assemble and includes:

The Full Kit provides everything you need to assemble and includes:


Assembly Instruction:

Step 1:

Download the Eye Mech CAD and print it out the parts. If you have bought the full kit, skip this step.

Step 2:

Connect the camera to the adaptor, connect the adaptor to the 15-pin Flex Cable, connect the 15-pin Flex Cable to the Grove Vision AI Module. Follow the steps on SenseCraft AI, to program the face recognition algorithm (or other algorithms you want) into the Grove Vision AI Module. For face recognition, recommend changing the default detect threshold from 50 to 20-30. You will need to connect your computer to the module's USBC port.

Step 3:

Follow this video to assemble the the kit, paying attention that you will need to insert the camera into the eyeball before mounting the eyeball onto the 3D printed parts.

The camera cable needs to go from the lower part of the eyeball and this allows the camera to be oriented upright for better face recognition.

Step 4: 

Plug in the Grove Vision AI Module onto the eye mech controller board's pins

Step 5:

Put the switch to MOVE (instead of HOLD), plug in the USB power to the eye mech controller board and it should start vision tracking. Additional features: 1. If handheld controller is connected, the eye mech will be under the handheld controller's control 2. If the Grove Vision Module is not plugged-in, the eye mech will perform random move

Note: The Eye Mechanism Controller Board β2.0 will be shipped preprogramed. The source code is in GitHub and will be continuously updated. You may re-program the code by following the "Flashing the PCB" section in this instruction.

This is part of a project intended for experienced makers and engineers. It may require some technical knowledge to use effectively. By purchasing, you acknowledge the need for appropriate skills in 3D printing and DIY projects.
