Andre Stubbe's Robotic Eyes
Computational Designer Andre Stubbe's thesis project consists of two robotic eyes, one blue - one red. They're really just painted webcams but interaction with each other and humans is what Stubbe is after. The eyes are able to move within their sockets and blink. They focus and react to each other but anytime a third person steps into their silent conversation, their behavior changes. They track that person's movement and may decide they're of no interest or they may become agitated and give you that "go away look". They may even pretend to be indifferent but just as you turn away, look at you from the corner of their eyes.

That eyeball is watching his hand. That's totally creepy.
