Iot Based Smart Mirror

The document describes the design and working of a smart mirror. The smart mirror uses a Raspberry Pi connected to a monitor via HDMI to display notifications, news, weather, and allow control of home appliances. An ultrasonic sensor is used to detect when a user is near the mirror to activate it. The mirror can display social media notifications, calendar events, play music and video. Home automation allows control of connected appliances through the touch interface on the mirror. The project aims to create an interactive smart home device using a Raspberry Pi for artificial intelligence and connectivity.

IOT BASED SMART MIRROR

ABSTRACT
The paper describes the design, construction and working of the smart mirror. Every morning
our day begins by watching ourselves at least once in mirror before leaving our homes. We
interact with it psychologically to find out how we look and how our attire is. Smart Mirror or
Magic Mirror is one of the applications of Raspberry Pie. A computer screen embedded in
mirror looks very futuristic. The Raspberry Pie stays at back scenes and controls the data
displayed on mirror. While looking at mirror you can look at various notifications from social
sites as well news, weather forecast and more things. Such mirrors can be programmed to work
as AI and control home appliances by voice input or touch screen. The Raspberry Pie is
connected to monitor via HDMI as well as it also has inbuilt Wi-Fi and Bluetooth interfaces so
we can just swipe music and videos to mirror.

INTRODUCTION
Smart mirrors are straight from science fiction. They’re part of an optimistic vision of the future
that imagines a world where screens and data are everywhere, ready to feed you whatever
information you need at a moment’s notice. Basically, the mirror is looks like normal mirror but
when someone stand in front of it the scene changes. The mirror provides a functional, user
friendly and interactive UI to its user for accessing their social sites, messengers, etc. It has
widgets for displaying the current whether conditions, Time, Events, Latest news headlines The
Smart Mirror would help in developing smart houses with embedded artificial intelligence, as
well as finding its applications in industries. Switching home appliances becomes easy with
mirror. Virtual dressing, a smart way of having trials with your fashion sense make things quite
easy in malls. Having such intellectual mirror will only surge the beauty of home. The raspberry
pi is programmed using python and connects to a monitor with inbuilt speaker so as to provide
an onscreen interface and voice assistance .

WORKING
On start after giving power supply to mirror the raspberry loads the OS and directly runs the UI
of the mirror, it may take while to load the weather and other internet based widgets to display
the information completely depending on the speed of the home Wi-Fi network. A power
saving mode is also provided to the mirror by attaching a ultrasonic range detector sensor on
the top of the mirror. The ultrasonic sensor activates the mirror and awakes it when someone
comes close enough. Thus, improving the functionality and power efficiency of the system. On
fully loading the information required the mirror now shows notification from different social
sites as per the user has logged in. The events are loaded from calendar and reminded to the
user.
The user can plan route to his destination before leaving home on the mirror. A mass of
entertainment is also loaded on the mirror, as its connected to home Wi-Fi YouTube can be
completely streamed on it and a music app is preloaded to beat your favorite music directly.
Besides several other applications like gallery is also installed to view your pictures on mirror.
The has a greeting pane which automatically prints greeting message according to events and
time of the day. You can book a cab before leaving home using Uber cab booking interface
made using Uber public API. Not only that, a user who knows the working of system well can
extend the ability of the system by adding more feature to it.
The Home automation embedded in this mirror is very easy to use, as you have to simply
connect the pins of the appliances to mirror’s slots and then you can enjoy the controlfoff
Appliances by touch interface.

CONCLUSION
While starting the project we cannot contribute all money that’s required for buying a monitor
and a Pi at same time so solution was to connect the Pi to laptop using LAN or WLAN. When we
tried to connect the Raspberry Pi over network using SSH on putty software it continuously
gave error for not able to connect to Pi. We solved that error by manually creating a ssh file on
boot drive of the pi [11]. A problem with Two-way mirror was that it crashed whenever we tried
to cut it, but after surfing over internet we found solution to that problem that sticking a tape
before cutting it helps. The next big issue was providing a touch interface to mirror, there isn’t a
sign of how to give the smart mirror touch ability, we found solution to that problem after
looking at IR Frames on the internet.
