Fantastic. Really has the feel of Westworld.

It's super important to glue (epoxy) the axel to the very center of the clock's setting dial. Mine was slightly off-center which is why the motor/hub which is why I elevated the yellow plate. This accounted for wobble from my off-center glueing. Good Luck :-)

I recall Jim Campbell doing an art installation called 'Hallucination' back in the late 80s where as the viewer approached the mirror they burst into flames and then a second figure appears and interacts with the scene.

Perhaps another fun effect to try is to make the mirror appear to crack if the viewer looks too closely ?

Or to overlay something on the face like toothpaste or a smudge to see if the viewer instinctively reacts to it and tries to wipe it off.

Nicely done.

My favorite movie on your list is Occulus.

Would you mind sharing more details on your build? Specifically what parts of lego hardware you used? And would you be willing to share your code. I'm trying to help a friend make something similar. Thank you!

That's amazing. I love when the coffin opens and eyes peek out.

That looks amazing. You really did succeed in capturing the whole 70s sci-fi aesthetic.

Great animated crow. I like how it can "notice" movement and respond.

Very funny and scary, shabaz. The detailed explanations of the entire surgery are very enjoyable. I like the utility you have given to the DA14531 module. Congratulations on the project, it has been very cool. Hanging the head from the ceiling or as a head companion, it has to be terrifying.

Great project, it turned out amazing!

As with all other blogs you write, the quality of both content and media is exceptional, I just wanted to ask, what do you use for lighting and taking pictures for the blogs?

Well done! The overall effect is great and is keeping with the look and feel of the era.
