Let’s have a staring contest

Stranger Video is a unique website that allows access to your webcam. By granting permission, you will see a close-up of your own face with the background cropped out. Simply close your eyes to signal you are ready, and open them when you hear a chime to connect with a stranger doing the same in a blink-off challenge.

You can experience this interactive game here.

Currently, I am engaging in Stranger Video, creating a one-of-a-kind experience. Let’s all join in and play together.

Created by Eieio, Stranger Video exudes a nostalgic ’00s internet vibe, reminiscent of the personal web era. It is the brainchild of the same creator behind One Million Checkboxes, as featured by Edwin in June.

Both projects are nominated for the Tiny Awards, which celebrate the small, handmade web experiences that prioritize personal interactions over commercialization. Explore these beautiful websites for a unique online journey.

So, RPS readers, let’s put our staring skills to the test with Stranger Video.
