An installation featuring chairs where you can relax while charging your phone. However, your phone will only charge when your eyes are closed.

Hardware: * Ubuntu system in 19inch server rack. * Nvidia GeForce 4080 GPU * Two 30-channel relay modules (Waveshare) * Eight 4K PTZ network cameras * Gigabit network powered by a Netgear switch * Custom-built seating for 40 participants

Software: * Python 3 * Python libraries: Torch, Torchvision, Transformers, and Tkinter * The installation’s open/closed eye detection system is trained on multiple datasets using FocalNet, a neural network model specifically suited for visual tasks. This allows the installation to accurately detect when a visitor’s eyes are closed, triggering the phone charging feature.
