🚀 Project Highlights

1 Build your own AI friend——xiaozhi on UNIHIKER K10

By Yeez_B | Learn more

This project uses the UNIHIKER K10 and XIAOZHI-ESP32 firmware to build a localized AI voice assistant, supporting multi-turn conversations, wake word detection, and real-time translation.

Users can directly flash the precompiled English firmware without complex ESP-IDF setup, making development easier and faster. Powered by the ESP32-S3 and integrated with cloud AI models like DeepSeek, it features hardware-accelerated voice processing, hotspot Wi-Fi setup, and a web-based console for device management. It provides an accessible platform for smart assistants, education, and IoT voice control.

2 Working Halo Night Vision Helmet

By LeMaster Tech | Learn more

Inspired by a lifelong passion for the Halo series, Lemaster Tech uses an infrared camera and the UNIHIKER M10 to build a wearable night vision attachment for a Halo-style helmet. The helmet enables real-time low-light and no-light video capture, displayed locally on the M10’s integrated screen and simultaneously streamed wirelessly to a desktop for recording or remote viewing.

Powered by a portable battery, the setup allows users to start and stop programs remotely, offering both mobility and flexibility. This project not only recreates the sci-fi feel of the Halo universe but also explores practical applications of infrared imaging, wireless video streaming, and embedded systems design.
