Inkha (original) (raw)

Inkha is an interactive robotic head which was created in 2002 at King's College London by Mat Walker and Peter S. Longyear. Inkha uses a camera in its eye to track the movement of people who come close to it. It moves in a lifelike way based on studies of human movement. Inkha exhibits fright when it sees sudden movements and interest when it sees small movements. It becomes bored and goes to sleep if there is nothing of interest to "see". Inkha also speaks periodically about facts and astrology and gives out fashion tips.
