"Stored inside the hat and eyes of Teddy, an interactive bear, are four microphones and one camera using face finding and sound vocalization technology.
The teddy bear sitting in the corner of the child's room might look normal, until his head starts following the kid around using a face recognition program, perhaps also allowing a parent talk to the child through a special phone, or monitor the child via a camera and wireless Internet connection."

I do hope the child doesn't develop distrust or parental recognition issues by interacting in an apparently mutual, but sporadic, relationship with the teddy bear.

"the child who mistook his parent for a hat", very good!
But why does it have a conspicuously placed Austrian Kaiserkopf-Amadeus-Mozart eagle on the hat (which itself is of quite epic dimensions I might add, well done)?

Wow, that sure is some hat. Hat-like object. Blob vaguely shaped like a hat adorned with disturbingly authoritarian and/or abstract symbols.

Just what the hell IS that thing?

The "SMS Dreadnought Tegetthoff" after death & taxation, in original scale, rebuilt to full detail including the disturbing authoritarian symbols, as you so nicely put it. In short: Les autres chiens striking back from beyond the grave.
