Have you ever wondered how many strands are in one of these tat shop fibre optic wands?

I wired the brick up as a very small external monitor, so you can, for instance, play Doom on it.

The VK-Pocket. When you look at it, it looks back at you with your own eyes.

The eye on the screen is a live view. The black dot to the left is a wide angle high resolution camera; it performs face detection and crops the eye region for display, wherever it is in the frame.

It uses a miniature CRT scavenged from a tip shop camcorder, and a Raspberry Pi Zero to run it all. There's a little servo to move the bellows.
