Eyecam is a creepy webcam shaped like a human eye
How much of what you did today has been monitored and recorded? If you don’t know, or haven’t considered it, then this anthropomorphic webcam by researchers at Saarland University in Germany might just start up that mental conversation. That’s because their Eyecam is always watching. The device looks like an incredibly realistic eyeball, complete with […]
DehneEVSE is a custom, Nano 33 IoT-controlled EV charging station
Sebastian Dehne decided to create a custom electric vehicle (EV) charging station for his Nissan Leaf from scratch, as what he calls “a real full stack project.” He notes that designing your own gives you total control over the system, and it’s both fun and cheaper than purchasing a ready-made device. The aptly named DehneEVSE is built […]

An Arduino ECG device with an integrated display
As Peter Balch explains, COVID-19 can sometimes give rise to cardiac complications. So, while not presented as an actual piece of medical equipment, he decided to construct an ECG (electrocardiogram) unit using an Arduino Nano for control along with an integrated 320×240 SPI display. His battery-operated device features an AD8232 heart rate monitor module to […]
Camera assistant takes shots of your workbench from above
“Have you ever wished you had an extra pair of hands in the workshop to handle the camera, while you were concentrating on your project?” KronBjron has, which led them to create an automated overhead camera assistant to help document instructional videos. The device hangs a camera overhead and uses a trio of stepper motors to […]

This futuristic-looking device actively discourages you from touching your face
For a variety of reasons, including potential virus transmission, it’s a bad idea to touch your face too often. If you need a little “help” to break this habit, then you might consider DesignMaker’s STOP Face Touching Device. The system takes the form of a cyberpunk-esque helmet, which monitors the area around the wearer’s face […]
