Haunted Frame

A portrait for your television. Its eyes will follow whoever walks past.

It needs the camera to see the room. Nothing is recorded, saved, or sent anywhere — the picture is read on this phone and thrown away frame by frame. iPhone may still show a red camera badge; that is iOS labelling any camera use, not a recording.

Stand the phone below your TV with the screen facing you and the camera facing where people will stand.

Send it to the TV

Open Control Centre and tap Screen Mirroring. On Android, use Cast. An HDMI adapter gives the sharpest picture of all.

On iPhone, keep this in Safari and turn the phone sideways. Then tap the two arrows at the bottom right of Safari to go properly full screen.

Stand to one side

Move to your left or right and watch her eyes. Are they following you, or going the other way?
