Field notes
The control vocabulary is unusually concrete: short blinks are discarded, a long blink selects, two long blinks return, and a very long blink puts the interface to sleep. The homepage says camera analysis stays in the browser and is neither uploaded nor recorded. A captioned demonstration is listed but marked as still recording, so the live test is the available evidence of the interaction.
