SYSTEM ONLINE. OPTICS ENGAGED. Cyborg Vision turns your camera into the heads-up display of a machine that is very, very interested in you. The world goes red monochrome. Diagnostics scroll down the sides. A scan sweep outlines everything in the room in white. Then a face appears, four brackets snap onto it, and the optics decide what you are. TARGET ACQUIRED. IDENTITY POSITIVE. THREAT: MODERATE. PRIMARY WEAKNESS: SNACKS. Point it at anyone. Point it at your dog. Point it at yourself and find out what the machine really thinks. WHAT IT DOES • Live cyborg render. Not a filter slapped on top: the feed is re-rendered as red monochrome with blooming highlights, film grain and a vignette, at full frame rate. • Lock-on targeting. Faces get the full acquire-and-lock ritual with a spoken call-out. Dogs and cats get their own: K-9 LOCKED. GOOD BOY: CONFIRMED. • Identification sequence. The optics freeze a still, zoom in, and type out a dossier that is never quite flattering. • Known Subjects. Enrol your friends in person and the machine greets them by name with a file you wrote yourself. "THREAT: STEALS FRIES" is a valid entry. • Threat Assessment. Two or more people in frame? Rank the room and crown a PRIMARY TARGET. • Object analysis. TVs, chairs, plants and forty-odd other things get labelled on the feed. • Skeleton overlay. People traced as wireframes during scans. • Mission Log. Every identification is filed, with a shareable card. • Capture. Photos with the HUD baked in, and 30-second clips with the sound. Front camera, pinch zoom, ultra-wide on supported phones. • Five looks. Crimson, Liquid Metal, Night Vision, Thermal, and Damaged Unit for when the sensor has seen too much. • Boot sequence, Control Center button, and "Hey Siri, engage Cyborg Vision." FREE. NO ADS. NO PURCHASES. NO ACCOUNT. Everything runs on your phone. The camera feed never leaves it. Faces are detected, not identified, unless you enrol someone yourself, and even then the data stays on the device and you can delete it any time. Cyborg Vision is a novelty camera. It does not actually identify people, assess threats, or judge your dog. It absolutely judges your dog.
