The detector model now is not strong enough. It uses traditional computer vision concept to detect the blinking. We plan to combine deep learning to develop a more robust detector model in the future.
Edit: Figured I could look this up myself. As I thought, yes, they blink - blinking clears particles and such from your eyes. (That is, unless they have trauma that prevents them from blinking, of course.)
However I assume I could out-blink the framerate of a laptop webcam ;)
Does closing one eye at a time count, or is this like Doctor Who and we just ignore the concept of winking?
