Overview
A scrappy DIY take on smart glasses: clip a camera and microphone to your glasses, press a button, ask a question out loud, and get a spoken answer in the voice of an over-enthusiastic anime sidekick.
How it works
Pressing the button makes the ESP32 grab a photo from an ELEGOO camera module and record 5 seconds of audio, then stream both to a laptop over USB serial. A Python host rebuilds the JPEG and WAV and sends them together to Gemini via OpenRouter. ElevenLabs speaks the reply.
