Abstract
The future is here! Imagine yourself reading news feed or checking today weather while dressing or shaving in front of the mirror. The aim of the project is to achieve such a device, and incorporate cutting edge features. The Pi will connect with the internet to retrieve real-time information to display on a monitor. By hacking the monitor open, a one-way mirror can be placed on top to achieve a smart mirror!
Background
There have been many smart mirror projects conducted by others. They have predominantly used the Python and C programming languages to develop the software for their mirrors, and used operating systems such as Raspbian and Ubuntu. These mirrors are able to show the basic GUI and other information updated from website, such as weather and links of latest news. In addition, some smart mirror projects have voice control as well, which is supported by Amazon Alexa.
Our primary aim is to be incorporate face recognition technology into a smart mirror. We do not believe this has been done before as part of previous smart mirror projects. The secondary goal is to incorporate voice control. We also intend on using Android OS on the Raspberry Pi, and utilise user usage behaviour to customise their home screen.
