Raspberry Pi: this project works with all models of Raspberry Pi, but in order to maintain the intended slim look of our mirror we will be using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+, which requires a micro USB power supply.

This is likely to work out much more cheaply than buying the items individually. Where we haven’t linked to a particular product for an item in this list, we’ve given its specification in such a way that copying and pasting it into the search box of your favourite online retailer should help you locate what you need.īuying tip: the nylon spacers, nuts, and bolts listed above often come in kits, such as the one available here.

While a mirror on the wall in the interrogation room appears to be a regular mirror, on the other side the cops are standing and looking through what appears to be a window.įor this project, we will be using a Raspberry Pi 3A+ connected to a disassembled ultra-thin 15.6-inch 1080p USB-C-powered monitor, mounted behind a specially manufactured piece of pre-cut A3-sized acrylic mirror.

Almost every police show or movie illustrates this when officers interrogate a suspect. Smart mirrors all work around the same principle: they display an image on a screen mounted behind a two-way mirror that allows a small amount of light to pass through, letting you see the display, while still retaining the reflective properties of a mirror. Combine that with the power, size, and form factor of Raspberry Pi 3A+, and you have yourself a magic recipe. We’ll be building one into a frameless modern design using standard-sized parts and materials in order to minimise the DIY tools and skills required. Happily, display technology has advanced, and now is an excellent time to revisit this project using new low-voltage, ultra-slim displays.

As a result, a smart mirror was not usually a realistic project unless you were completely comfortable dealing with high-voltage electricity, not to mention having the DIY skills required to make a custom frame. The makers of early smart mirrors often had to remove a bulky computer monitor from its housing, which entailed dealing with power and wiring issues. Their popularity and appeal haven’t declined with time, and the idea of performing your morning ablutions in front of a mirror that displays your day’s schedule, monitors your home’s systems, and offers up a cheeky joke still sounds a bit like a scene out of a sci-fi movie.
