Overview

The Infinity Mirror is a digitally fabricated light sculpture that merges geometry, reflection, and code. Inspired by LED art installations, it uses hexagonal mirrors, 3D-printed components, and a Seeed Studio ESP32 microcontroller to create an illusion of endless depth. Designed within a 12×12″ shadow box, the lamp balances engineered precision with ambient warmth—transforming from a sleek mirror when off to a vivid, dynamic centerpiece when illuminated.

Results

The final lamp delivered the infinite depth effect I envisioned—clean reflections, even lighting, and a solid internal structure that didn’t need extra supports. I programmed multiple light modes through ESPHome, letting it shift from soft ambient tones to animated color sweeps. Seeing it power on for the first time was incredibly rewarding—it felt like a perfect fusion of digital design, fabrication, and light.
