A room where three mirrored stations interview a visitor; a central Mac Studio orchestrates the visit, builds a companion from the interviews, and reveals the matched companion on a center display. Hardware: 3× RPi400 smart-mirror stations with ESP32 voice nodes (VoCat), Wi-Fi CSI presence sensing, WS2812B LED strips, a memorabilia printer, and a MikroTik network with MQTT as the backbone.
