That was exceedingly disappointing.
And BoingBoing itself?
Henceforth known as the Barney Effect.
Iād call it āmildly disappointingā. It was a bit boring but watchable; could be done better but would pass my āsomewhat interestingā threshold.
Iād advise to keep the more extreme adjectives to more extreme disappointments; it sucks when you run out of words when the situation actually deserves them.
Pretty sure thats not resonant frequency.
Itās just googly eyes stuck to a speaker and when thereās enough amplitude, the amount the speaker shakes, the eyes shake too.
If I had to grade this result, I would give it almost an A.
I did expect something more unexpected (to coin a phrase), like the out-of-sync metronomes turning into a relentless marching army. And secretly feared all the eyes would suddenly, terrifyingly, turn to look right at me.
resonant frequency is a natural frequency of vibration determined by the physical parameters of the vibrating object.
āThanksā.
I was just expecting them to shatter en-masse.
This is quite impressive in a wonky kind of way. There is a lot of junk out there about 433 Hz as a ānatural relaxation frequencyā and a āharmonic of the universeā, and how all music should be re-tuned to use this as A instead of 440 Hzā¦

ā¦and now they have a sound experimental basis. Huzza. Well done. Maybe.
Hereās a good review paper on human/primate googly eyes (AKA microsaccades):

The observed frequencies (not resonant frequencies) are in the ~.7 to 1.5 Hz range.
