Projects

Iron Man-inspired tech for your home and your (cosplay) armor. OASIS brings science fiction into reality as open-source software anyone can run locally — no cloud, no subscriptions. All GPLv3: code, CAD files and wiring.

The OASIS Project

Open Armor Systems Integrated Suite
  • Dawn

    A voice-controlled assistant running locally on NVIDIA Jetson or Raspberry Pi hardware, inspired by JARVIS and FRIDAY from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ask questions, control smart devices, and get spoken responses. Written in C, following real embedded software principles.

  • Mirage

    A real-time heads-up display showing DAWN’s status, live sensor data, and computer vision output on stereoscopic micro-displays inside a custom 3D-printed helmet.

    C · SDL · GStreamer · Source →

    The stereoscopic display assembly held in gloved hands — two micro-displays in a red 3D-printed frame
  • Aura

    An ESP32-S3 sensor suite mounted inside the helmet, now on its v2.5 revision. 9-DoF IMU, GPS, CO2, air quality, and environmental sensing — the readings MIRAGE puts on the display.

    Inside the helmet: the sensor board and hand-wired perfboard alongside the display mount, speaker and camera modules
  • Spark

    Firmware powering the armor and repulsors. Gesture detection, 19-LED repulsor animations, ESP-NOW wireless, audio-synced effects, and charge and temperature telemetry for every armor component.

  • Stat

    A telemetry daemon monitoring power, batteries, and health across the system, with chemistry-aware state-of-charge estimation, published over MQTT.

  • Atlas

    A record of the engineering decisions behind OASIS, feature designs, and implementation records, preserved for future research and historical context.

    Documentation · Source →

Echo, Beacon and Genesis — cellular, CAD files and experiments — are on the GitHub organization.

Open source, end to end

Every line of code, every CAD file, and every wiring diagram is public under GPLv3. Build your own, modify it, or learn from it. Questions are always welcome on Discord.
