I made a motorized cover for my webcam in the shape of an eyeball. It automatically closes its eyelid after a certain amount of time, which is the main reason it is better than the piece of tape I was using to block my webcam before. Follow along with the build in the video above. Odd_Jay also helped consult on this project!
