 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.

• A smart mirror is a two-way mirror with an electronic display

behind the glass. The display can show the viewer different kinds
of information in the form of widgets, such as weather, time,
date, and news updates. This product would be useful for busy
individuals that want to multitask and stay informed while on the
go. Instead of constantly pulling out a device, one could get
informed while finishing daily grooming tasks.
Design
 Hardware Components
• Raspberry Pi
• LED Display
• Two Way Mirror
 Raspberry Pi
• The Raspberry Pi is a series of small single-board computers
developed in the United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi
Foundation to promote teaching of basic computer science in
schools and in developing countries. It does not include
peripherals (such as keyboards and mice)
 LED Display
• A LED display is a flat panel display that uses an array of light-
emitting diodes as pixels for a video display. Their brightness
allows them to be used outdoors where they are visible in the
sun for store signs and billboards.
 Two Way Mirror
• Also known as two-way glass, a two-way mirror is glass that is
reflective on one side and clear on the other, giving the
appearance of a mirror to those who see the reflection but
allowing people on the clear side to see through, as if at a
window.
 Working
• Two-Way glass mirror: The two-way mirror is what gives the
mirror its real identity. It’s really a magic mirror as it has a
reflective surface at one side and also it's transparent for light
with good intensity. The mirror stays at the front where the
user can watch him/her in the mirror at the same time that
allows the light from the monitor to pass through it and make
available the UI.
• Monitor: The monitor is directly connected to Raspberry Pi via
HDMI interface thus providing display.
 Working(continued..)
Raspberry Pi 3 :
• The raspberry pi is the most vital part of the mirror, it forms
the processing unit of the mirror. The Pi is like a motherboard
having all the required constituents which forms a great CPU.
The programming of Pi is done using Python language. The
programs can be first developed and compiled on windows or
any other platform and then can run on Pi. The Raspberry Pi
has inbuilt Wi-fi and Bluetooth for connectivity purposes as
well as it allows 4 USB devices to be plugged in. On start after
giving power supply to mirror the raspberry loads the OS and
directly runs the UI of the mirror.
 Types of smart mirros
• FitMirror
• Wize Mirror
• HiMirror
• Phillips Mirror TV
• Virtual mirror
Technologies used in Smart Mirror
–Gesture Control
–Voice Control andTemperature Systems
–High Definition Display
–Humidity Sensor
–Facial Recognition:
–MCU
–Home automation and Ambient intelligence
 Applications
• Automotive sector using advanced electronic technologies
such as Wi-Fi connectivity, integrated sensor systems to
further improve road safety.
• Household : It would help in planning for a day’s activities by
checking information about weather, time , mails, events etc.
• Medical & healthcare : It can be used as heath assistant.
• Fashion sector: Itcan be used for realistic, real-time virtual try-
on of various products such as make-up, jewelry, glasses and
eyewear, and more.
 Advantages
• The big advantage of a smart mirror is the ability to display useful
information without needing to open apps or do anything.
• Easy to communicate: It allows the user to interact using
different means.
• User-friendly: Customizable, Users can add information according
to their own choices.
• Fast & Easy Images Replacement: It takes just few minutes to
replace images. It is fast and easy.
• Very Low Power Consumption: It consumes very low power.
• Adjustable Images Switching Time: Display duration between
sequential display images is adjusted according to requirement.
 Disadvantages
• The hardware and software more decoupled because current
the sensors and microphones are tied to the software and it
can be difficult to make the OS work with different hardware

• Smart mirror can be quite expensive due to their precision

engineering and materials used.

• Swipe gestures are sometimes unreliable

 Conclusion & future work
• Smart mirrors are interactive devices that help you check updates
easily
• Smart mirrors can help you save time and just multitask. They have
great potential to enhance user experience of accessing and
interacting with information.
• Smart mirror can be made much more useful to the users by adding
more functionality like integrating light settings, speech processing,
etc. Efficient and intelligent smart mirror can be made that optimizes
our time of doing works and increases our daily productivity.
• The Smart Mirror will play an important role in the field of IoT and
home automation . The functionality of the mirror can be expanded
by connecting it to other home appliances, mobile devices, etc.
