I want to make my own music player which self balances itself with cool rgb cube and projection and when i move in certain things it should interactively change the music and other things maybe a projector or something with alexa kind of system which is built in itself.

this guy has really great UI and display ideas: https://x.com/adamfuhrer https://www.instagram.com/adamfuhrerart and mohenjo daro style art would do just fucking great
bare metal shaders would just do crazy thing
https://www.olwal.com/ has good idea about HCI
holograhpic diplay or something!
and vinyle record player would also be cool idea
- Tilt to control — nudge it and it recovers, but a deliberate tilt in a direction skips tracks, changes volume, pauses. The physics is the UI.
- Spin to shuffle — give it a twist, the reaction wheels absorb it, shuffle mode activates.
- Pick it up to pause, set it down and it jumps back up and resumes.
- The “holographic” display could be a pepper’s ghost prism on top (cheap, no special tech) or a small transparent OLED — both work while spinning/tilting.
attach cool display to show current playing music song:
