Animatronic Human Eye Mechanism - Neatorama

(YouTube link)

The uncanny valley is about to get creepier, thanks to this realistic-looking animatronic eye developed by Dan Thomson of Visionary Effects. Will this be used for movie effects, Disneyland presidents, artificial girlfriends, or working robots? Maybe all of those things! -via Laughing Squid

The subtleties of random, natural, in-between movements are needed, perhaps just not demonstrated in this spastic video. Without the naturalism it will just seem like a robot eye, dead, unhuman, boring. But early technology is kinda cool in itself for what's lacking.

It's amazing. Is it equipped with some other instruments to show that it works like human's real eye?

really it's cool, but it's me more of "glaDOS" vibe, than a real human eye

D-Don't look at me!

This thing is almost perfect. With iris contraction-dilatation, the possibility of installing a mini camera inside, and maybe less noise you have the perfect eye for a cyborg.
