Touchscreen Smart Mirror

In this guide, we'll be building a Smart Mirror with a Touchscreen using a Raspberry Pi. This mirror will not only display useful information like time, weather, and news, but also allow you to interact with it by touching the screen. You'll learn how to set up a two-way mirror, connect a touchscreen overlay, and configure the MagicMirror² software to create a fully functional, interactive mirror for your home. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced maker, this project will give you a cool, futuristic gadget that combines both style and technology.

To assemble the display, two-way mirror, and IR touchscreen, start by positioning your HDMI-compatible monitor (here I have used a 32 inch monitor) securely within the frame, ensuring it’s centred and fits well. Connect the Raspberry Pi to the monitor using an HDMI cable. Once the display is in place, carefully position the two-way mirror over it, making sure the reflective side faces outward and the smooth side is against the screen. Use double-sided tape or adhesive to secure the mirror to the frame, ensuring it stays in place. Next, attach the IR touchscreen overlay on top of the two-way mirror, aligning it so the active touch area matches the screen underneath. Press gently to remove any air bubbles and secure it firmly.

Add a LED strip to the back of a monitor (we will program this to light up when the face detection is accepted) place the Raspberry Pi in the case if you have one and then connect the camera module to it.
