For the Cheetos Hands-Free House at SXSW, we designed and built an ambitious, fully automated smart home experience where visitors navigated and controlled every room entirely touchless. I directed the technical design, engineering, and hardware integration across the entire footprint. To achieve a truly hands-free environment, my team integrated voice-recognition, presence detection, and smart-home automation frameworks throughout the kitchen, living room, and den. Key interactive features included a custom biometric 'Cheetle ID' fingerprint-scanning entry gate, a “self cooking” mozzarella stick machine, and a backyard LiDAR-embedded LED graffiti wall that allowed users to write digitally in real time without getting Cheeto dust on the screen.
