Would be fun if it could (with permission) use your webcam to either follow you with it’s gaze or as you suggest give you the cold shoulder. Or maybe as a kiosk art installation so it doesn’t have to get perms to peoples webcams. Then record people interacting with it.

Ah! even better photograph the person, and feed that photo into the system and then watch the real person interact with the kiosk version.

Unstyled? I’ve seen those eyes before…

I’m quite sure the “machine-learning” aspect that is being talked about is only applied to the eyes in the webtoy, the rest of the face is animated with a regular semi-3D trick.
