  A Raspberry Pi powered Magic Mirror

A magic mirror is a raspberry pi powered monitor behind a double sided mirror. A mostly black web page allows you to add some widgets to the mirror’s reflection as if by magic. This version includes widgets for displaying the weather forecast, the date/time and a nice randomly generated greeting. No low level hardware hacking required, just some basic woodworking and some code I’ve already put together.

What you’ll need

• A monitor
• A double sided acryllic mirror fit to the size of the monitor
• A few 2 x 4’s to build a case around the monitor
• Thin wood to build the forward facing mirror frame, I used 1/8 x 3’ board
• A raspberry pi and it’s needed components, i.e. the power supply, HDMI cord, wifi usb dongle, and a keyboard for initial setup
• Basic woodworking tools like a saw, sander, screwdriver
• Screws, liquid nails

 

 

 

This is amazing, i wish I could make one, I found it online and decided to share    .

The full tutorial on how to make it [x]

 

This is really innovative, it would be so cool to have a mirror like that but can't make one  . #sadlifeofacollegestudent.

He gave his code free for use and even has a forum for discussion
