Show HN: An open-source e-ink frame that identifies birdsong and draws 1800s-style illustrations
arnemunthekaas · hn · 2026-09-15
A Show HN project called fugleramme: an open-source e-ink photo frame that listens for birds through a microphone, identifies the species, and uses AI to render it as a 1800s naturalist illustration in real time.
- Full pipeline (audio classification + image generation + e-ink display) is open-sourced on GitHub
- A neat example of ambient computing: passive nature sensing turned into local generative art
- Gained traction on HN for its low-power e-ink + audio classification combo
