I wanted to make something that was just about as creepy as I could come up with, and a skull that follows you around the room fits the bill pretty well. So here's the story of what I did. More detail will be posted soon. Oh, and some videos too.
Parts / Materials
- Fake skull, approximately life-sized
- USB webcam
- 2 servos
- Brackets for the servos
- Sturdy base (I used 2x4s)
- Arduino, or other microcontroller
- Battery pack
- Breadboard
- Laptop with Python, OpenCV, and 2 USB ports
Software
Check out this project on my GitHub!

Here we can see the face detection in OpenCV working.
The skull mounted on it's pan/tilt "neck" and wooden base.
