content: Quote from: Halon on February 17, 2015, 07:30:07 pmThe LEDs cannot shine very bright and need to be 'run cool' (i.e. low power), otherwise they would impair the vision of the wearer or might irritate the skin due to heat. Safe to say that these are not high-power LEDs. Thus it should be possible to drive the LEDs with a Lithium button cell for at least a few hours.I don't know how the creators envision the final product. But it is noteworthy that in almost all promo pictures on their website you see girls wearing earphones. Perhaps (and i am just speculating here) they intend to fuse the battery holder with earphones, which would avoid the issue with tangled cable around your neck. (But perhaps the earphones in the pictures are just a fashion statement and unrelated to the Eyelash project)

content: Side note: Larger eyes are a survival mechanism for young mammals (including humans). We are programmed to 'care for' our young by identifying them with, among other markers, large eyes/pupils.This evolutionary trait then follows through to adult hood where large eyes become an attractive feature in the opposite sex.

content: Quote from: aargee on February 17, 2015, 10:12:01 pmWrong way around, we're "programmed" to do that because our young have unusually large heads and eyes. They don't have large heads and eyes to fit into that programming :/And that doesn't cover most mammals TBH, only really humans. The most common mammals you'll see about are cats and dogs and they don't have such large heads and eyes compared to the adults. Some dogs may look like that but that's because we bred them to look "adorable" to us, and they keep those features into adulthood.Back on topic, I could see these becoming popular in clubs, but not as a general fashion accessory.

content: Quote from: aargee on February 17, 2015, 10:12:01 pmThat's true but part of it has to do with our eyes not being able to "grow" like other body parts. Hence the eye tends to form almost adult size from birth and then as our heads grow the eye/face area ratio diminishes. Nevertheless we identify and have more emotional reaction to big eye/face ratio which would be baby and puppy and anime characters.One must not forget it is not just eye size. Pupil/iris size is a big factor. The more dilated the pupil or darker larger iris (see Limbal ring too) has attractiveness. That's why you don't find a large eye with mostly white sclera showing and a tiny pupil being cute.. That's more bug eye. You need large and dark with minimal white showing and large in proportion to rest of face.

content: The previous video posted showing a young lady doing a review of the eyelashes with a ton of electronic gear in the background that would be the envy of an electronics hobbyist... Seems someone has taken issue with her and made a whole blog about it here:http://sexycyborgisaliar.blogspot.ca/2017/05/naomi-sexy-cyborg-wu-is-liar-and-fake.htmlI would not like my kids (daughters and son) to see this channel... It is almost as bad as that YouTube channel showing half-naked women trying to teach how to code. Let's call it what it is... Adult entertainment for men. Wife certainly wouldn't approve either if a husband was "learning" electronics and coding from watching that.

And she doesn't like it, that many people don't believe that she really did the projects herself (at the end of the interview). Also interesting background information about Chinese culture.Didn't know she used Tinkercad, looks like a good and easy to us program:https://www.tinkercad.com

content: Quote from: FrankBuss on September 02, 2017, 10:45:36 amI think its difficult to be taken seriously when your marketing tactics boil down to cheap tricks. I personally find it very hard to take someone seriously that constantly makes everything "sexy". But maybe this says more about my bias then anything else.At the end of the day, her tactics have worked, and it was a path for her to rise above the din. I guess the downside is, it may be hard to get taken seriously. The true test is how she evolves over time. Ageing may be her biggest career path obstacle at this point.

Though I was disappointed Clive never actually sported them because he isn't usually shy of making a bit of a fool of himself. I've snorted the odd cup of tea over my keyboard with his shenanigans, and can't help wondering if Big Clive with his ZZ top beard all downlit with fancy LED eyelashes would have been a youtube viral hit.
