Robot with fake eyes

[Pete]

Hi,

I would like to build a robot with fake eyes that controls the eyetracker. First I have been testing some fake high quality eyes, but they only seem to work if I hold them in front of my own face. I have tried installing them on a real-life size cardboard face (with increased contrast), but that doesn’t work either.

What are the characteristics my robot will need, next to high quality eyes?

Many thanks,
Pete

Hi @pete, the Engineers here use a stryofoam head with the fake eyes glued on… I think these heads are cheap enough to order.. let us know how it goes!

Hi @Grant [Tobii], many thanks for your information! In the meantime I have bought a couple of styrofoam heads and some sets of fake eyes, but I can’t seem to find a setup that works well. The eyes are seen sometimes, but not all of the time, I would even say mostly not. It also seems that they can be seen when they move, but not when the styrofoam head is just standing there. There is a huge difference between my own eyes and the fake eyes on the styrofoam head. What head/eyes combination do you propose, and are there other caracteristics which are important? Maybe you can sell me a styrofoam head and fake eyes set?

Thanks again,
Pete

Hi @pete, the inter pupillary distance between the eyes (IDP) is optimal for tracking on the 5L at 60-62 mm

With regard to fake eyes, etc, yes you can buy these from Tobii. Please contact Sales @ https://www.tobiipro.com/contact/sales/
