Ask HN: Hedge animals for your house that only move when you're not looking?

Imagine walking past someone’s yard with a few neatly trimmed hedge animals lined up by the sidewalk. You glance away for a moment, and when you look back, one’s turned slightly. Another’s closer.

Hidden sensors detect when no one’s looking directly, and tiny motors shift the hedges.

It’s The Shining meets suburban lawn art: a quiet, uncanny piece of living technology that makes the house feel… aware of you.

Would you want these in your front yard?

    That would be pretty cool for Halloween! For the rest of the year, though, it would be too creepy for my tastes.

    The last time I saw this (or anything new for that matter) it was stone angels.
