VIDEO: Arduino-based eyebrow hat developed
How robots could look more dignified
31 July 2009 17:59 GMT / By Duncan Geere
You may or may not be familiar with Arduino - the open-source microcomputer that lets you use a basic programming language to control electronic circuits.
If you're not, that last sentence probably went whooshing over your head, so click play on the video above to see what it's all about. Royal College of Art Animation student Tom Judd created the eyebrow hat as part of his final body of work.
Judd says: "The concept came about whilst thinking about botox users and their wonderfully emotionless faces. The eyebrow hat allows its wearer to express themselves by altering the pitch and height of each synthetic brow using the lightweight controller. The result is a dignified look that friends and family will admire".
We agree completely, and hope that the eyebrow hat goes into production in the near future.
