Developed as an upcycle project, this ESP32-powered wireless Bluetooth speaker features a translucent design inspired by a gummy bear to showcase the intricate beauty of its internal electronics. When placed within 80 cm to 3 meters of one another, the devices auto-initialize and distribute audio across dedicated channels to generate a dynamic surround sound effect. The overarching vision is to cultivate a metaphorical "jungle" ecosystem of interacting speakers, with future iterations introducing additional animal designs.
This is a wireless Bluetooth speaker project powered by an ESP32 microcontroller, featuring distributed audio playback. Developed as an upcycle project, the design is inspired by the translucent Haribo gummy bear. It aims to metaphorically cultivate an ecosystem of speakers that interact like a wild jungle.
Each speaker automatically begins playing when placed within a proximity of 80 cm to 3 meters. The devices auto-initialize and seamlessly connect with one another, separating the audio into dedicated channels to generate a dynamic, multi-source surround sound effect.
Aesthetically, the concept draws from the transparent electronics trend. It is an artistic endeavor meant to showcase the intricate beauty of the internal components, fully revealing the design from the inside out. Future iterations of the project will introduce other animal designs to expand this metaphorical jungle.
