Inspired by Japanese designer Hakusi Katei and their stunning Pixel Cube, I created my own interpretation — a digital pixelation device that brings the same analog magic to life in a modern, interactive form.
This device captures real-time input, processes it using OpenCV, and renders a pixelated version on screen. What's special is that you can interact with it by touch to change the size of the mosaic tiles, creating a playful and emotional visual experience.
As a firmware engineer, I'm usually focused on digital code and function — but this project connected me with a more visual, emotional, and analog-like aesthetic.
I’ll continue evolving this project to make it feel even more analog and expressive.

In this video, I demonstrate my ESP32 Text to Speech (TTS) project, where I integrate Jades Pico TTS component to bring multilingual support to the ESP32 platform. While Espressifs official TTS model currently supports only Chinese, Pico TTS fills the gap, enabling languages like UK and US English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish. The project is built with LVGL for a smooth UI experience. Watch as I show how to convert text to speech, perfect for embedded systems with speaker output.
