Check out the latest tutorial from Erin St Blaine: build a Halloween illusion that transforms your face into the face of a skeleton or monster. This prop can also be used to blend your face with your friend’s face. It uses a Feather ESP32 board and NeoPixel LEDs with a 2-way mirror to create all the spookiness.
From the guide:
Get spooky this year with a magical halloween coffin that holds a surprise inside. A 2-way mirror and an array of animated lights creates a face-blending illusion, melting your face into a creepy skeleton or other Halloween monster. You can also prop this up and blend two human faces together, creating a very creepy and surreal experience.
This project requires a little soldering and some software installation, but no coding. We’re using an ESP32 Feather board to program and control our lights over WiFi, so you can control and change the colors or animations with your smart phone or any web-enabled browser.
This illusion was inspired by TANZER’s Infinity Boxes, and first created by us for Maker Faire 2024, where we built it inside a Love Tree. It turned out so good that we wanted to recreate it to scare the kids in our neighborhood on Halloween!
