Project Description
The idea for this project came from a problem we often encounter: focusing on studying. The world offers so many distractions, such as social media, including Be Real. Inspired by this social media, we present BE(A)Real, a Bear that has an embedded ESP32-Cam:
The ESP32-Cam connects to the internet network over Wifi, and acts as a server. When you start the server, you can connect to the ESP32-cam (Bear) from your computer, and open the browser and connect to the address provided and you will see the following:
The website allows you to start the timer. Once the timer starts, the ESP32-cam will take a photo of you at some point during the study session. Here is an example of the code running and showing a photo at the end:
Then, you can download the photo and share with your friends through your favorite social media.
