It might be worth pointing out that the entire unit is self-contained, i.e. it houses a mini-ITX format dual-core Intel PC running custom computer vision software. The only cable coming in is for power. An Arduino microcontroller board (popular with artists and hobbyists) runs the servo-motors (there are 3 motors: x, y, eyelid”. – Wyatt Berkover
