![]() Any gaps will allow light to pass through. This is to prevent any gaps between where the tablet starts and the vinyl ends. Cut the vinyl with reference to the inner outline. Draw another outline that is offset about ¼” inside the original outline. Once positioned properly, draw the outline of the tablet onto the vinyl. Step 4: Cut Out a Window in the Vinyl for the Tablet The preferable height from the top and the width from the side are 4” and 2” respectively. Put the tablet, with the screen facing down, on top of the vinyl. Step 3: Mark Out the Area Where the Tablet Will Go Using the black vinyl will stop the light, allowing you to see your reflection. Roll out the vinyl and measure it to the size of the mirror and cut accordingly. Mango Mirror app on your phone or computer (allows you to control the mango display app) Mango Display App Mango display app (already installed on the Amazon fire tablet, can be downloaded from Google play store as well) Picture frame (same size as the mirror, must be able to fit the mirror within this frame)Īmazon Fire 7 Tablet or any other Andorid Tablet (black is ideal) Two-way glass mirror (use a size of your preference, making sure it is larger than the tablet)īlack Vinyl Wrap air release adhesive film roll (ideally 12” width by 60” length) Here’s what you’ll need to build your Alexa enabled smart mirror. So this tutorial will be based on using an Android tablet (Amazon Fire tablet). There are many reasons for this, you can read the details in our our Raspberry Pi vs Android Tablet for your smart mirror post. We recommend using and Android tablet instead. While there are many smart magic mirrors built using Raspberry Pi. And thank you for going out of your way to make English-language documentation available we really appreciate it! You can find more of Pierre’s work at his bilingual homepage.We will provide you with step-by-step instructions, video and details to build your smart magic mirror in under 10 minutes flat. ![]() ![]() Thanks so much for all your work on this, Pierre it’s technologically interesting, and we thought it was hilariously funny too. I’ll update this post when those final steps are in place. Now, I must cook to friends tonight (life is not only with computers, sometimes human-interactions are required) :( Thank you very much, Pierre! Head over to at Think RPi, where you’ll find easy-to-follow steps which make up a tutorial, including a hardware list software instructions tips on successfully using OpenCV (the face-recognition software) a picture of Han Solo, my all-time favourite space pirate and a picture of a couple of Brits holding boxes full of tiny computers last April. Pierre says he still has a couple of steps of the tutorial to write – actually, what he said in his email was: He didn’t, but he sat down immediately and spent the weekend putting some together – in English. I mailed Pierre, the man in front of the mirror, as soon as I spotted this on YouTube last week, asking if he had any documentation. ![]() This lovely hack from Pierre Raufast is the sort of OpenCV application that we hope to see much more of when the camera board goes up for sale (and the Pi camera would be a great solution here, with a much higher framerate). Here’s a somewhat creepy mirror with a disembodied (French) voice, which recognises the person looking into it and responds accordingly. ![]()
