Waking up camera…
Why both eyes? We collect both now so future updates can fuse them for a richer composition. Today the left eye drives the music.

Tips for best results

  • Soft, even light — face a window or use a ring light
  • Hold steady and look straight into the lens
  • Remove glasses — contacts are fine to leave in
  • Sit where your webcam can focus — about a forearm away on a laptop
  • We crop tightly to your iris — your face doesn't need to fill the frame
