My niece, nephew & eventually the rest of the family joined in to have a great grossed out time with this Eyeclops Bionic Eye.
C. The children's teacher had to have one for her class. Thompson This EyeClops had been so much fun for the adults and children. We have shown it to all our guests.
Turns out you can find lice with this thing.which is good, since our elementary school enjoys infestations at least twice a year.
There was little contrast on the screen, so everything appeared to have a white haze over it. Once we got it working the images were less than spectacular. Not a bad buy for $40, but not as good as other reviews make it out to be. Bought the toy for my nieces on their birthday. Once we plugged it in to the tv it was difficult to figure out how to work it.
It was very simple. After the kids went to bed and I had a chance to look it over, I realized that I could also hook it into the computer's AV adapter and capture magnified video and pictures off of it using the Movie Maker that comes with Windows. We bought my daughters two different microscopes in the past. The poor quality kept the kids from developing any interest. It's less then the price of some video games and the kids are enjoying learning new things. After some negotiating, we agreed to pick it up. However, it plugged in the TV and that was it.
Now that I have seen the EyeClops in use, $50 doesn't seem so bad. I was very surprised by the quality of the images that were being captured.
After the past experiences, I was leery of spending $50 for another microscope item. They were searching the house for new things to look at.
We were very disappointed by both. The kids started checking anything and everything out.
It made for some really cool pics. A few days ago, my nine year old approached me about an interest in the EyeClops.
When we got it home I was not looking forward to setting it up.
