Sound Bear - Autonomous Wireless Speaker
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.
