First go at 3D Printing. The little holes in the half sphere and ring are for wire to connect the two together.

Prototyping my parts for my final 3D print.

Aesthetics

The Diagnostics of my Model...

Sizing:

Figuring out the sizing for my model.
I chopped and changed the sizes till I found ones that were what I wanted.

Giving my model some extra aesthetics:

1. Using degrees to exaggerate the directions the eye move in.
2. Using  compass points instead of degrees.

Sketching Ideas

Developing My Ideas...

How my model could be designed.
I thought of having two layers with the interacting parts in the middle.
I also thought of how the two parts could fit together.

Sketching other Ideas that could be a possibility:

Looking into the ball and socket idea.
Also exploring what I materials I could use for me model.

Prototyping Physiology

Choosing a Body Part...

The Eye:

Side View

Exploring the muscles of the eye to discover the movements of the eye.

Front on View

First Ideas:

Thinking about how to abstract the eye...

I first looked into the eye being like a puppet, controlled by strings.

Then looked into the focussing of the pupil like a camera focusses to take a picture.

I also thought of just exploring the simple up, down, left, right and around movements.

Lastly I thought of a swiveling mechanism.
