The Advance Man

Nine photographs, taken walking round the rover. Scroll, and it turns.

  1. The rover from its right front quarter: two white-rimmed wheels along its side, the camera on its tilt bracket and two round range sensors at the nose, jumper wires looped over the boards.
  2. The rover turned a little toward the camera: the same side, with the nose and its sensor bar coming round.
  3. The rover nearly front on, from its right: the camera bracket and the range sensors face forward over a strip of line sensors.
  4. The rover head on: the camera above, two range sensors below it, the line-sensor bar at the bottom, a tyre on either side.
  5. The rover from just left of its nose: the camera's ribbon cable hangs down behind the range sensors.
  6. The rover from its left front quarter: nose to the left, the left-hand wheels toward the camera.
  7. The rover's left side, seen a little from ahead: both left wheels, the boards stacked above the rear one.
  8. The rover side on, from its left: the camera bracket at the front, the boards and their ports at the back, red and black power leads trailing.
  9. The rover from its left rear quarter: the back of the board stack and its power leads, the camera bracket beyond.

The Tally

It pairs with the hat's camera and the rover's. Whatever either one finds, the wrist shows the most valuable of it: each item's guessed name, and its estimated price.

Seven photographs, taken round it. Scroll, and it turns.

  1. The wrist unit from the side: a forearm held level, palm up, a small lit screen on a black mount strapped across the inner wrist, a braided cable trailing from it.
  2. The wrist unit seen from the forearm end, the hand open beyond it.
  3. Over the forearm, looking down the unit toward the hand: the screen lit, a status light at its foot.
  4. The wrist unit from above. Its screen reads: Case 1138, live, total take 0 dollars, 0 exhibits filed, waiting for finds.
  5. From over the hand, looking back up the arm: the unit square to the camera, the palm below it.
  6. The right edge coming round: the boards seen stacked, one above another, on the mount.
  7. The wrist unit edge on from the right: two boards and the screen stacked on a curved mount, strapped to the forearm.

The Hat

One lens, through the felt at the front of the crown. Worn, it looks where the wearer looks.

Five photographs, taken round it. Scroll, and it turns.

  1. The hat by itself on a desk, from its right: a black felt hat, the lens standing out of the front of the crown, pointing right.
  2. The hat on the desk from its front right: the lens turned toward the camera, its markings readable round the glass.
  3. The hat on the desk, head on: the lens in the middle of the crown, held in a cut in the felt.
  4. The hat on the desk from its front left: the lens on the left of the crown, angled toward the camera.
  5. The hat on the desk from its left: the lens barrel pointing left, clear of the crown.

Exhibit B

How a look flows

Turn an authorized walkthrough into a documented asset debrief. Every price carries its source; value ranks assets for review, not proven security risk. Visibility alone does not prove an asset is unsecured.

  1. 01

    The gate

    The camera waits for a new view. A flicker or a passing hand does not count. A different shelf does.

  2. 02

    The look

    The hat identifies the object and marks its place in the room. Each find gets a name and a category. An offline catalog keeps the demo going when the connection drops.

  3. 03

    The appraisal

    Sold listings come first, then a model’s quote, then a visual estimate. Every price tells you where it came from. Estimates are marked clearly.

  4. 04

    The ledger

    One shared ledger keeps the crew in sync and filters out repeat finds. Each entry records who spotted it, its value, and the evidence behind the appraisal.

  5. 05

    The callout

    When a find makes the top five, the speaker reads it out and its marker flashes on the projector. The wrist picks up the new top five on its next poll.

  6. 06

    The reveal

    The button on the cap freezes the frame and opens the debrief: the five highest-value observed assets, a total, one stamp. The QR opens the case file on a phone. Press it again and the next assessment opens.

Exhibit C

The Paperwork

Four screens for an authorized assessment. “Take” means summed estimated asset value; “Loot Manifest” is the noir label for the asset case file. Offline and scripted results are demo data, not observed findings. Open any screen while the hub is running.

The live screen: the footage in a film strip, the estimated take and the typed case file.
