If anyone tries to take anything from this coin bank they’re going to have to brave the creepy looks that [Vladimir Putin] gives them. That’s because [Overflo] rigged up the wall hanging to react when you approach it. It’s all in the eyes, which open and turn red based on your proximity to the picture frame.
The frame itself is the ugliest thing [Overflo] could find at Ikea. He spray painted it gold and added an image of [Putin] with a zany background. At rest [Vlad] has his eyes closed. But the lids are connected to a servo motor to pull against the spring that keeps them shut. An infrared proximity sensor is used to trigger the eyelids when you get relatively close, but if you reach out your hand it will even light up the red LEDs hidden in the pupils of the eyes. See a demonstration of the setup in the video after the break.
super! Fuck you bitch dictator Putin.
And you learned that watching CNN?
Possibly — but CNN isn’t the only source of news on how much of an ***hole putin is. The guy’s as crooked as a dog’s back leg.
Haha, funny :) But not realistic; When you get near you should disappear through a trap door in the floor and never be seen again :P
…day 5: I should never have written that post. Yhe russ special police force are nearly done breaking through to my apartment. I don’t know how long I wil……………
Not again this vertical camera BS…
crappy vid.
Not -this BS again.
Crappy comment.
Does it really matter if the vid is horizontal or vertical? The point of the article is the HACK, not his video editing skills. Please come back when you can comment on the actual project and not criticize the video.
Yes, it does matter!

ohai

IMO this is rather stupid. If that’s what now is called a “hack”, then the world really degrades.
get a life
Go mod your FPGA to control uranium enrichment or something, just… don’t post poop like that :( makes me sad.
That’s a very good idea, but I don’t use FPGAs so far. :DD
“hack”
Verb:
Cut with rough or heavy blows.
Ride a horse for pleasure or exercise.
Noun:
A rough cut, blow, or stroke.
A writer or journalist producing dull, unoriginal work: “a hack scriptwriter”.
A board on which a hawk’s meat is laid.
Damn those Hawks!
The picture scares the hell out of me, no need for the eyes!
LOL ! awesome ! Looks like something out of monty python :D
I’d be scared Putin would steal it given his track record and his countries traditions XD
LoL The comments here are almost 44% putin and 44% vertical video syndrome. I guess proximity sensors are really underrated.
Did you notice the hand on the right at 0:11 probably switching the the eye LEDs on or something.
nah the hand is mine.
i was telling peter to get closer to putin so i can catch it on vertical video..
Forget medical technology and scientific research. Things like this are electronics true gift to humanity.
Dictator? Are you serious :))))? Stupid the american people. Believe the Internet.
heheh.. this is almost as funny as all the t-shirts and signs with Put In Bin…
Apparently there were a few Putkins on Halloween as well.
Maybe Anna was the bait to get Nemtsov into position where he could be “taken out” as a lesson to the dissidents in Vlad’s socialist paradise. It is called a “honey trap” in some circles. It was good shooting with a pistol; 4 rounds out of 7 into the target with no collateral casualties. Not an amateur job.
