Magic Mirror

Description

A magic mirror is a raspberry pi powered monitor behind a double-sided mirror. It uses the MagicMirror² open source software which is free and maintained by a big group of enthusiasts. I used a Raspberry Pi integrated, an old monitor and a two-way glass mirror for the build. I also integrated Amazon Alexa to the mirror.

Motivation

I was looking for something to do over the summer and wanted to create a hardware/software project and after watching a couple of youtube videos and tutorials, I figured this would be a good project. Plus it also served as a great present for my significant other.

Lessons Learnt

I learned a couple of woodworking skills as well as working with hardware pieces and working with the Raspberry Pi.
