Yep, those are cool. It is creepy the way the eyes follow you around.

I have made the original blue one for various people through the years. The red and green ones are a nice addition. I even redid one in an LSU theme and colors for a Tigers fan.

Thanks for the link!
I just built one (Blue), but it doesn't work as well as the video... I think it's the lighting in my house.

That thing is spooky... Works just like the video. I just printed and built one and set it up in a place where many people pass at my work place. We'll see how long it lasts there.

My 8 year old had one in his class and the teacher made him bring it back home. It was freakin' out the kids.

At my place of employ we have a pond that attracts so many geese that they are a nuisance. The groundskeeper just put out a fake coyote figure to try to scare the geese away.

I just got to thinking that if we were to make a coyote head in the same fashion as the dragon, we may be able to scare off the gees more effectively Of course there is always the risk that it would scare off people too.

That coyote idea just might work. The dragons, when viewed from across the room, sometimes follow you even without closing one eye. Seems like geese would naturally see the illusion with one eye.
