Project Summary

The “Intelligent Mirror” is a kind of mirror which conveys all necessary information to the user like time, calendar, local weather, news headlines, and emails. The mirror is run on the LED monitor for display consists of a wooden frame and a low profile monitor which sandwiches the acrylic sheet (see-through mirror) to the back of the frame and connected by Raspberry pi3 through HDMI cable. The operating system in which has installed software called the magic mirror. It is open source software which runs modules written in JavaScript. The device connected to the internet through Wi-Fi which allows us to know the latest information. Webcam also connected to a Pi which helps in face recognition of a user to access their email account according to their identification. It will run profile according to the person in front of it such as for kids it will run videos and for the guest, it will show general information. The mirror keeps refresh itself with the latest updates.

Project Objectives

Utilizing IoT for home mechanization has some true applications, for instance, we can construct a smart home which will consequently close or open the windows dependent on the climate conditions outside or even turn the lights on and off in a specific room. This thesis exhibits the usage of a Smart Mirror utilizing IoT with the assistance of a Raspberry Pi.

• Build a decent Mirror frame.
• Install monitor and raspberry pi in a frame.
• Design modules which help webcam to identify the user to access their profile and also convey other information on the display.
• Connect apps to the internet.
• Design face detection app.

           Enchantment Mirror goes for increasing the essential intelligent mirror with inserted knowledge to consolidate everyday schedule assignments like perusing paper, getting stock updates, climate refreshes and so on and giving such information to the client while he/she prepares(ready). The Intelligent mirror will help in computerizing our work and advancement of smart houses.

Project Implementation Method

The build of a mirror consists over a wooden frame and a low profile monitor which sandwiches the acrylic sheet (see-through mirror) to the back of the frame having raspberry pi connected through an HDMI cable with a device. It will have a module that can save almost 5 users profiles for face recognition which allow accessing their email is information which is saved in SD card of Raspberry Pi and further, it can show current weather, local time, headline news, videos and calendar to the display. For making modules the magic mirror2 is used which is open source software for development of various modules. A webcam will install on the top of the mirror for face recognition which helps to the module to find a profile of a specific user to run their information on the mirror.

Benefits of the Project

• The mirror offers the benefits of using modern technology while integrating seamlessly into the standard washroom and dressing room routines of most people.
• This mirror aims to reduce and possibly eliminate the need for the user to make time in their daily morning or nightly routine to check their PC, tablet, or smartphone for the information they need.
• The mirror will provide the information with little to no effort from the user with the goal of not being a burden that he or she must maintain. The mirror wouldn’t be another activity, rather an enhancement to the already common use of mirrors in most modern washrooms and dressing room.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The device resembles a customary mirror yet would have a screen inside. An intelligent mirror is fundamentally a mirror with a screen behind it. That screen can be an Android tablet or a PC screen. The venture which would gather genuine machine information, for example, area-based most recent news and features, climate projections, and just as demonstrate to us the neighborhood time. The information would be transmitted from the machine and would be overseen in a focal database and would be overseen by the Raspberry Pi. The Intelligent Mirror executed as a customized advanced device furnished with peripherals, for example, Raspberry PI, LED Monitor secured with a sheet of intelligent one way reflect gives a standout amongst the most essential basic luxuries, for example, the climate of the city, most recent updates of news and feature. The mirror shown is given by a level LED show screen which shows all the essential data which are valuable for the user.
