Of all the things which could potentially be roboticized, you can’t say the curtain would be high on our list — but then again, we’re not hardware hacker Niklas Roy. In an attempt to create the “little piece of privacy,” Niklas grown this screen which can watch passers-by outward (with the assist of the notice camera) as well as automatically follow them along a window to block their perspective inside. Of march, as Niklas records, the sentient screen does also have a hapless side effect of actually attracting the very passers-by it’s perplexing to guard against — such are the perils of innovation. Head on past a mangle to check it out in action, as well as strike up the source couple below for all the required sum to build your own.
