A Northern Arizona University student built a complex pizza box robot designed to shoot a laser into your eyes using a camera and facial recognition software.
Michael Reeves, a native of Maui, Hawaii, shared a video of the sophisticated piece of technology to YouTube on April 17.
In the clip, the young programmer explains his reasoning behind constructing the complex machine, saying, “It’s an age-old question, is there a God? What is the meaning of life? And can I have a robot that recognizes my face and shoots me with lasers in the eyeball?” He quickly discovered the answer.
