EYE SKIN
This is the eye skin version of the Retina Eye ALURE. Retina has
segment display reporting while this version has stricly the eye
skin.

ALURE is Penguin Robot's Artificial Linear Ultrasonic Retina Eye.
The program uses a PING))) expanded Penguin Robot and the AUX
port's pin 5.

The PING))) is an ultrasonic detector that determines the distance
of objects. The code creates an artificial retina, the area of the
eye that forms an image to show this distance in real time.

OVERVIEW
This simple robot eye mimics a human eye by approximating
the distance to objects and showing a trace to the image on
artificial retina skin. It can even see mirages and hallucinate
under certain rare conditions. It can also report statistics
about the object in the line of vision.
