	LightHead's new facial design matches more it's infant-sized head.
LightHead mounted on its katana400M robot arm. This setup allows for more natural interaction.	Several chassis designs have been tested to fit various off-the-shelf projectors.	Four different faces tested during our robotic gaze reading experiment.

	LightHead can display any sort of facial expression.	It is also possible to augment the robot visual feedback with icons representing internal states, here: thinking.
LightHead's eye curvature should improve gaze reading, an essential aspect of non-verbal communication.	Early tests of the uncanny valley effect. We did not consider further trials at this point.	Our very first test of the retro-projected facial display: foldings appeared during mask molding.
