Album cover as ambient object
Not metadata. Not a notification. A glowing artifact on your shelf that breathes with the music.
// the story
from a $15 raspberry pi
to a product.
In 2022, I shot a quick prototype: a $15 Raspberry Pi could already show what was playing on any TV. Cute trick. But the idea kept burning — what if the album cover wasn't a thumbnail, but the object itself?
Peepwho is the answer. A pixelized LED slab that lives on your shelf, glowing with whatever's spinning right now on Sonos. When the music stops, it idles into ambient color fields. When it starts again, the cover slams back to life.
concept → silicon → platform → distribution.
