The eyeball is just a mesh+texture for the avatar that the customer thought that might be nice :) It does fit the tech/config where the movements are largely automatic, e.g. the autofly from a picture to another -- an animated human avatar with legs would have been more work to make look ok for such autowalks (I think still quite easily doable for ok non-perfect level). Also one dilemma is that we wanted to show the avatars in front of the art pieces that they are looking at, so that everyone can see who else is looking at the same piece. But we also wanted that the viewing angle is direct, to not obstruct the view of the art pic itself. This means that full-sized human avatars would block the view. Options are to make the human dwarfs, or scale up the gallery so that it looks like it's for giants -- or this kind of smaller non-human avatars which don't block the view. BTW you can click on the art pic you are at to zoom close to it and get a clear view -- it hides the UI and the avatars, and the textures are 2k also in the Flash version so should be ok quality to view. About tablets -- there's a quite common missunderstandin there: the Flash tech does run on iOS and Android phones and tablets, in fact we have been testing this same gallery application on iPhone and iPad. It just called Adobe AIR in that case, and gives installable apps instead of loading with a browser like with desktop OSes. One idea is to make little a generic realXtend open source demo using the tech from that project, we could perhaps put that app then to appstore etc. too so that people will try also with phones & tablets.
