Build a wise cracking skull to MC your Halloween costume party. This project uses a Raspberry Pi 5 paired with a NoIR PiCamera and speaker bonnet. The Pi runs a Python script with OpenCV person detection. When a person crosses paths with the skull, a picture is sent to Claude with a prompt requesting a kind hearted corny dad joke about the person’s Halloween costume. The returned joke is sent through Piper text to speech and played through a speaker attached to the speaker bonnet.
