Wearable AI Camera Interface for Satirical Real-Time Surveillance
P.A.T.R.I.O.T. is a wearable real-time surveillance terminal built as an interactive satire of corporate security theater, algorithmic authority, and lifestyle-brand dystopia. The full acronym, PERSONAL AUTONOMOUS THREAT RESPONSE IDENTIFICATION OVERWATCH TERMINAL, frames the piece as a fake institutional product: confident, branded, overbuilt, and completely untrustworthy. The build combines a Raspberry Pi AI Camera, a live Pygame interface, stable subject tracking, generated dossiers, and LED feedback into one physical experience. A live camera feed becomes a hostile-but-absurd field terminal where people are detected, boxed, classified, and judged by a machine that clearly has no business judging anyone.
