I added some more configuration options to the settings and the algorithm still worked! It picked up the eye movements when I was lying on my back with my head tilted slightly.

The device doesn’t have a clock when it is unplugged, so the date can now be configured if you want kind-of accurate timestamps on the files. It hovers on an insect-like tripod so the camera angle can now be controlled much better.

This recording better illustrates what the bitmaps look like that are saved to the SD card when eye-movement patterns are detected. Larger movements, especially in the mornings when there is some light from the rest of the spectrum still produce the deep-dream like images.

I want to believe I almost have the perfect version of the halovision device. Down to the size of a matchbox; no screen – only a night-vision camera, infrared LEDs and a processor powerful enough to run the latest machine vision algorithms at a decent rate. It records short GIFs along with BMP stills to a SD card and triggers bright LEDs when eye-movement patterns are detected after a long enough still phase. I don’t think I can make the GIFs as high-res as these “research” grade ones, I’m afraid, but good enough to see what it was detecting to help get into position. Woo hoo!
