+1. There's some neat innovations here though - having the eye mimic the expression on the other side of the video stream, better tracking, extremely obvious on/off states. The eye-lid also might give the viewer a more immersive experience (movies sometimes use this effect and it works pretty well).

But the whole thing looks disturbing - if this was turned into a real product you'd probably want something more cartoony.

I think that's the point - we are surrounded by devices that are always watching and listening. If they looked like eyes and ears, maybe we would think twice about how and where we use them.
