Infinity Mirror Collar

An infinity mirror displays endless reproductions of whatever sits between its two reflective surfaces. This wearable design puts a twist on the typical infinity mirror project. By using holographic vinyl as the reflective material and EVA foam as a base, we are able to form the flexible materials into a circular collar, creating an appealing statement necklace.

The two Side Light NeoPixel strips nestled between the vinyl layers produce colorful, dynamic patterns multiplied many times over in the resulting reflections. Controlled with CircuitPython code running on an ItsyBitsy nrf52840 Express, this unique wearable accessory lets you choose custom colors and animation patterns on the go with the Bluefruit phone app interface.
