Fun Facts

DIY CHARACTER PLATFORM

The BCW V3.1 Hobby Board is the same core eye-control concept behind Skully, opened up for your own project. Add a character, prop, enclosure, or whatever weird thing you’re building and give it animated eyes, radar tracking, local control, and Eye Factory support.

Dual Animated Eyes

Two 1.28-inch round TFT displays and two 38 mm convex lens covers provide the visual core for a pair of animated eyes pre-loaded.

mmWave Tracking Input

The included mmWave radar provides target-position input so a compatible prop or character can react to a person in front of it.

Local WebUI

Configure and control the eye system from a local browser without a dedicated mobile app or required cloud service.  Even connect to Home Assistant.

Eye Factory Ready

The included 1 GB MicroSD card is preloaded with Eye Factory assets and supports the broader BCW Eye Factory workflow.

Multi Voltage capable

Can be powered by a wide array of DC voltage from 6-36 Volts.  Power Supply not included.

LOCAL CONTROL // ACTUAL INTERFACE

Configure It in a Browser

The actual V3 WebUI provides local eye-library, blink, pupil, rotation, radar, network, and device controls. It runs from the hardware and does not require a dedicated app or BCW cloud account.
