Interaction

Designed a multimodal interactive system combining voice-controlled and proximity-based interaction, with ESP32-based master-slave communication and embedded sensors.

The master unit integrates a microphone for real-time sound signal analysis, while each slave unit controls 35 LEDs and collects distance data via ultrasonic sensors.

Successfully implemented three interaction modes: constant lighting (color/ambient/breathing), sound-reactive lighting (volume & spectrum), and human-triggered effects (growth simulation & particle fireworks).
