In this video, I’m showcasing a really cool gadget I recently picked up — a tiny ESP32-S3-based 3D prism display.
Although it looks like a hologram, it’s actually an optical illusion created by placing a transparent prism cube on top of a 1.3-inch IPS screen. The result is a floating 3D effect that’s surprisingly convincing and super fun to watch.
I loaded a few animations onto the SD card — including a 3D Pikachu rendered in real time, a nostalgic anime clip from *Future GPX Cyber Formula*, and a custom Matrix effect. The ESP32-S3 handles everything: real-time rendering, MJPEG video playback, and display updates.
*I didn’t build this device — I bought it as a complete kit with a 3D-printed case and prism cube.
*I just customized the content and added some fun effects to test it out.
*It’s a great example of what you can do with low-cost microcontrollers and clever optics.

Overview:
This project combines an Android chat app with an ESP32-based LoRa module to enable the wireless transmission of short messages. The Android app provides a user-friendly interface for sending and receiving messages, while the LoRa module facilitates long-range communication between the app and physical devices.
Workflow:
1. Android app establishes USB-Serial connection with ESP32 module.
2. Messages are sent from the app to the ESP32 module via USB-Serial.
3. ESP32 module transmits the messages wirelessly using LoRa.
4. Received messages are forwarded from the ESP32 module to the recipients app via USB-Serial.
5. Messages are displayed to the recipient.
Benefits:
- Long-range communication capability
- Low power consumption for extended device operation
- Internet-independent communication
This project enables wireless short message transmission by integrating an Android chat app with an ESP32-based LoRa module, offering users a convenient way to communicate over long distances without relying on internet connectivity.

This is an early demo of my ongoing project to create an offline GPS map viewer using the ESP32. Inspired by a similar Raspberry Pi and E-Paper build, this version aims to load map tiles from an SD card and display the current GPS location—completely without internet. Stay tuned for updates as the project progresses!
