Hand controlled LED with Raspberry Pi Pico instead of AMB23

Hello, I am planning to start doing some elementary machine-learning projects. I was searching. Then this project caught my eyes.

This is a hand-controlled LED. This is done with AMB23. The problem is, I do not have an AMB23. I have a Raspberry Pi Pico. My question is, is it possible to do this project with Raspberry Pi Pico?

The MicroPython part of this project is very simple and can readily be adapted for other targets. However the system is dependent on a network connection to the PC so you'd need a Pico W or similar.

Thank you, sir. This is something I must have noticed earlier. But actually I do not have the W version. I have the ordinary Raspberry Pi Pico. If I add a wifi module with it (like the ESP8266) will it do?

Just use the ESP8266 and keep the Pico for something else.
