You rock ! Thanks a lot for all that details (and for the next ones coming). I assume you put the IR frame above your one way mirror (didn't you ?), but how was the feeling when touching it ? (I mean, wasn't it weird compared to our smarthphones touchscreens ? And last but not least, how expensive was the whole thing ? (especially the IR frame ^^). Thanks again for sharing your time with us Ryan, take care
I love your honesty at the begining. Most of us secretly want to have an idea or a product that we can use to start our own business and free ourselves from the shackles of everyday employment (dramatically speaking). You tried it, it didn't work out and you didn't become bitter from it and shared your expierience with us. Thanks for that.
Sorry to hear that your entrepreneurial endeavor to build a company and sellable product based off your design didn't come to fruition. Thanks for sharing your process. I look forward to seeing your future projects and videos on this channel.
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for taking your time to share this project you have been working on. It is inspirational for me to find a cool project to practice programming with the Pi. If you can share more, it would be greatly appreciated but keep up the great work and sharing technology and information is definitely what I am all about!
Your smart mirror was awesome! I'm an electronics technician and have wanted to build my own smart mirror for a while. There's so many ways to go about it. I thought your interactive keyboard, two-finger volume function, and nest controls were awesome. The whole mirror looks really good! Thanks for posting this. I'm not a software engineer so I have no knowledge of C+ and C++ so whenever you get a chance to show the software build would be awesome! Thanks again for the video. God bless.
one flaw you probably have thought about yourself is how many finger smudges you'll have on your mirror after using it... maybe consider implementing a kinect for gesture control
You mention that one of the problems with the mirror is certain lighting. Why not ditch the mirror all together and just go with a wall display that holds your calendar and has the built in functionality you have already developed. There are tons of busy families that could benefit from synced calendars that can be hanged on the wall to keep everyone up to speed. Why does it need to be a mirror?
This was my dream, to see a technology like this. I'm waiting for a tutorial. This was mindblowing for me. I'm so happy that someone made made a mirror like this. Thank you!
I mean once you cover a touchscreen with venice mirror it's all a matter of appropiate software not much different from writing any other touchscreen app
@@xGOKOPx But how does it work? He says an os 10 desktop application. What is that? Is that build on top of linux? Can he access other apps/programs or the operating system is only the software?
@@holaahora7527 If he said "os 10" then I guess it works on a Mac, although that doesn't sound right so dunno. My point was that it's no different from making a big touchscreen device and writing an app, only except you put a venice mirror on top of the touchscreen
I'm really exited for this new channel and what it will bring! never give up one this idea just seeing your smart mirror, i know people will want to see your work and how amazing it is
man, youre a really great developer for not wanting to take money because you dont want to let anyone down. hoping you are able to ship a big project some time. good luck
So I just ended up seeing your first smart mirror video a couple weeks ago, and honestly I'm overwhelmed by the idea of all the programming because it's something I've literally NEVER done before. This is incredible, and I'd love to maybe try my own tech un-savvy hand at a cool project like this one and would like to see your process on this build. BuildHub forever.
Don't hold your breath for an answer...lol He must have either changed his mind again about taking a run at making a business out of it or he got a new girlfriend. ;-D
I think you have designed a brilliant product and i do think in higher end markets people would buy these up and install them. One particular room i think they would be a hit is in a make up room. I am an electrician and I could see a real market for them. Keep up the good work.
Dude, massive kudos for not going on kickstarter with something that you knew wouldn't work under certain conditions. Kickstarter is notorious for ppl who don't even bother to iron out bugs, they're essentially money traps for backers.
The first thing I'd like to say is I appreciate you making this video in one take it's is more natural and you come across real. second of all I'm sorry your plans for your business didn't turn out like you hope they would as of now. I've been in the same position as you several times but I never give up. It's good that you took in all the facts and drawbacks about your project before you turned it into a real-life sellable item. this way when you work through all your struggles in this current project and do offered as a sellable item it will be a solid piece of work. You are a very creative person and appears to be one heck of a programmer. myself I could never grasp programming that well are well enough to be any good at it but the hardware side is my specialty. maybe I'll give it a try and come up with my own version of a smart mirror and one day maybe I'll post it on your Channel. good luck best wishes in all your Ventures don't give up it'll only be your downfall in life.
When I saw it was this kid I instantly hit the like button! He is so awesome! I'd totally watch a step by step tutorial of how to build a smart mirror if he was willing...
Your setup is 2nd to none. Freaking love it! Would love to build one of these myself. Magic mirror is cool, but the interaction you have with yours rocks!
Can you put a parts list together and links to the software necessary? This would help for mildly interested users like myself to get a cost together and see if I can afford to do it, without having to click through six thousand pages to hope I have the correct parts. If this was feasible for me in my day to day, I'd love to give it a shot. I think it would help you grow your userbase if when you release stuff like this, you enable the viewer as much as possible. This will really assist with return traffic, based on my own browsing habits.
I've been wanting to build a smart mirror for a while now & finally decided to jump in. A few issues that I've come across: 1. Touch. It's a mirror. It has to be smudge free & had really good reflections. This is why there aren't many touch smart mirror tutorials. 2. Use. How long do you spend in front of a mirror? The only time I spend in front of a mirror is when I brush my teeth in the morning & evening. That's about 20ish minutes in total. 3. Location. Most people only have mirrors in the bathroom (This is completely dependant on the house person etc but most people will only have a mirror that they regularly use in the bathroom). If this is going to be used in the bathroom can the mirror withstand being in a hot & steamy room? 4. Power. I can't speak for every household as each is completely different, not just where I am but everywhere. In Australia we have one or two outlets for power in the bathroom. Will these impede on user's being able to power other items or be more of a nuisance. Smart mirrors are a really cool concept, they definitely can be implemented but it has to be almost perfect. Unlike most other tech items that is a, 'one fits all', situation, smart mirrors are too far apart in offerings. It can be hard to find the right item for the right consumer. My mirror is still in prototype stages and it definitely isn't the best around (I did decide to use an Intel compute stick instead of a Pi after all). I have it display key information like weather, shopping lists etc. It's at my front door & is equipped with Google AI.
I'm affected by the movie Oblivion too. I'm referring to the touchscreen particularly. How can I describe them except that they were "clean". Clean lines. Clean and sharp features.
I would definitely be interested in a kit or paying for clear instructions to construct my own. Great concept and your implementation was definitely both unique and superb
Very glad you got to this follow up, and looking forward to the channel in the future! Would love to see a build of materials as well, and I'd definitely support a Kickstarter of this if that's still a thought in your mind. Your take on the smart mirror is where the future of this space is going to, and you should be first to market!
I didn't think it was possoble to have a touchscreen smart mirror. I'd really like to use some of these ideas when designing and building my own smart mirror in the future. I already have an idea for fixing the lighting issue.
Could you please provide me with a link/tutorial/download how you made the smart mirror be able to adjust settings by turning your wrist, like you were grabbing a physical knob?
I can’t wait for this channel to get bigger. It’s going to be really interesting. Would there be any possibility of us getting a video on how you made the software. I’m interested in doing things like this but have now clue what to use or how to design the soft ware.
curious if it would be possible for you to release the code/ os you built, a couple of things in there were pretty neat. Also how hard would it be to convert your code over to use with pie's or other linux distros?
Im hearing from touch foil companies that they wont work with mirrors due to metal conductivity. Do you have a video or links to which mirror & touch foil you referenced early in this video?
any chance to get the software you've developed? i would like to create your mirror, and perhaps to improve it, i would have a few ideas to try and fix you lighting problem bugs it would be pretty dope to have a mirror with your UI. if you open source it or you are willing to share it i would love to stick my fingers in your project and build it for myself
I would buy one in kit form if the price was right ! There's a lot of people like me that this type of build wouldn't be a easy task. In a kit and a vide on how it all went together would be great.
Amazing project! Love your perseverance and thanks for sharing. Would love to see steps of what you did in more detail to see what I could replicate and iterate on.
LOL! watched that project/video of yours when I was in college and trying to find the source! Found out the technique just before I watched this vid. And yea It would be great if the product was launch. Anyways, you are great! since I watched that vid years ago, I can remember those days. Good luck for the channel. Subbed!
Hey, I'm a software engineering student and I just saw your smart mirror video a couple of days back and was really eager for how you made it because I really want to make one for myself and I don't know how should I go about it. It'd be really helpful of you if you help me making the mirror and if you could tell me exactly what all things did you use and how you used them. One more thing, could you please teach me how you coded it? I really want to make it for my own knowledge and gain experience.
You could try using a "screen protector" that is anti glare for your mirror. Only thing is , I'm not sure that you would want one on a mirror. That and they may not make stuff like that , that big. Surely if it's attainable for a laptop screen you can get one for a mirror that size....right?
Thanks for the update! Can't wait to see the how to videos! If you end up making the kit are you going to be including the os? That's what made me interested in this in the first place. The os was really clean and looked a lot macOS
Thanks for this amazing video. Would you be willing to share your code and a list of hardware and links to buy? I want to build one for myself and I just don't know where to start. Your mirror works exactly how I'd like mine to work and about the right size I'm looking for. Any help and direction would be great! Thank you so much!
Hmmm, how about an eye tracking device like the Tobii and a raspberry? That way you could control things by looking at certain spots and blink. That would keep the mirror clean. =)
![OhGeesy x Lefty Gunplay - What It Iz [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/L0yzW9t2ixk/mqdefault.jpg)
Would be great if you showed us the whole process so we can build our own one. Please with clear and a lot of steps.
TravelSeconds I’ll try and get one made as soon as possible.
BuildHubTV Great!!!
You rock ! Thanks a lot for all that details (and for the next ones coming).
I assume you put the IR frame above your one way mirror (didn't you ?), but how was the feeling when touching it ? (I mean, wasn't it weird compared to our smarthphones touchscreens ?
And last but not least, how expensive was the whole thing ? (especially the IR frame ^^).
Thanks again for sharing your time with us Ryan, take care
BuildHubTV agree. Great project for Diy enthusiasts and computer science students
That would be nice ! Thanks for your contribute!
I love your honesty at the begining. Most of us secretly want to have an idea or a product that we can use to start our own business and free ourselves from the shackles of everyday employment (dramatically speaking).

Man start giving tutorials on software development that could boost your career much easily as well as you will be serving for others 👍🏻👍🏻
He works at Amazon now. I don't think that's allowed :(
Dude, I would totally buy a kit to make one of those. Goodluck on the channel, I subbed! :D

Got to say this. You should be very proud of what you achieved. Great idea and a great product. Would love to own one. Bravo.
one flaw you probably have thought about yourself is how many finger smudges you'll have on your mirror after using it... maybe consider implementing a kinect for gesture control
Add a wnidshield wiper to it, lol
or simply get a "smudgeless" cover... they exist and you just put it over the mirror and it allows for touch screen to work without finger smudges
Jack Napoli i think thats called oleophobic coating?
probably a kind of screen protector with a coating like that
You mention that one of the problems with the mirror is certain lighting. Why not ditch the mirror all together and just go with a wall display that holds your calendar and has the built in functionality you have already developed. There are tons of busy families that could benefit from synced calendars that can be hanged on the wall to keep everyone up to speed. Why does it need to be a mirror?
This was my dream, to see a technology like this.
I'm waiting for a tutorial.
This was mindblowing for me.

Don’t give up .... really cool. And you’re good at explaining. Please put videos out
Don't give up! Smart mirror is and will be a thing in the future!
As for that major flaw, just add a polarized anti glare layer on top... Try it. See what it gets you
Donovan Wulf was thinking the same thing.
Let me give that a try and report back!
BuildHubTV waiting to see how it went!
What Screen did you use? and Waht NIT is on the Screen? Needs to bee way over 600 to be any god :) Seem to me you used a TV. Not a marketing screen..
Don't hold your breath for an answer...lol He must have either changed his mind again about taking a run at making a business out of it or he got a new girlfriend. ;-D
You are going somewhere with your life! Genius.
Your accomplishments are just astonishing. Congrats. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍👍👍
This is absolutely amazing. I have a RPi Magic Mirror right now but this is top notch. Really looking forward to a walkthrough!

One of the best mirror builds out there. Amazing journey!

i have been waiting for this day for sooo freaking long!!! ur amazing man
Excited to see what you do with the channel! Keep up the great work!
You are welcome and good luck, I will be waiting for your mirror design
I didn't think it was possoble to have a touchscreen smart mirror. I'd really like to use some of these ideas when designing and building my own smart mirror in the future. I already have an idea for fixing the lighting issue.
I love everything about this
you have inspired me to make one of my own
hopefully all goes well
A free advice, you can make it a desk, it is a clean program and with a good finish you could leave much more than a mirror
Love it. Definitely something I would do during my spare time if you would be able to upload a tutorial. So inspired - keep up with the good work!
I was blown away.
Literally
Could you please provide me with a link/tutorial/download how you made the smart mirror be able to adjust settings by turning your wrist, like you were grabbing a physical knob?
Loved your work man! Hope this channel brings in more subs. So excited for what's to come. 💯💯♥️🙏
Does anyone know how to implement the capacitive touch screen panel, I really don't like the look of the IR frame...
I can’t wait for this channel to get bigger. It’s going to be really interesting. Would there be any possibility of us getting a video on how you made the software. I’m interested in doing things like this but have now clue what to use or how to design the soft ware.
Shrink the volume circle by no less then 35%, it'd look nicer. But all looks beautiful non-the-less, great work and cant wait for dev details.
Very well made. Looking forward to more videos. Subscribed.
Very cool what you've made, I'm sure it was a lot of hard work. Thanks for sharing!
Great ideas with these smart mirrors, I'm thinking of making one myself
Amazing, simply amazing.
very cool. look forward to following your work. I am very interested in building a smart mirror for my new home.
man can you keep the all programing you've done there....it was really cool
Wish you the best of luck in your journey, you are definitely talented don't doubt that
I can't wait to try this out
Awesome dude! Great work!
This is epic, looking forward to more videos.
curious if it would be possible for you to release the code/ os you built, a couple of things in there were pretty neat. Also how hard would it be to convert your code over to use with pie's or other linux distros?
I hope you make a step by step tutorial on how to build this project for ourselves. It would definitely be worth the effort
Im hearing from touch foil companies that they wont work with mirrors due to metal conductivity. Do you have a video or links to which mirror & touch foil you referenced early in this video?
Definitely subbed. Your channel seems very interesting and professional
any chance to get the software you've developed? i would like to create your mirror, and perhaps to improve it, i would have a few ideas to try and fix you lighting problem bugs
it would be pretty dope to have a mirror with your UI.

So when are you going to talk about how you ‘actually’ made it
You are awesome and thank you for sharing. As a tinkerer I appreciate it!
wish this dropped in a kit, would love to know you did the interface as im interested in designing my own
This guy is great.
Although I have built my smart mirror, I would still buy your kit! Keep it Up!
Amazing project! Love your perseverance and thanks for sharing. Would love to see steps of what you did in more detail to see what I could replicate and iterate on.
Looking forward to further projects!
This is great! Definitely checking out BuildHub.

Good job...this was such a cool inspo vid
If you could give us insight on how you built the glasses that would be great 👍🏾
How are you not the head of a major tech company dude? I feel like you would be our only hope against the rise of A.I. robots in the future.
Great project, looking forward for more information. Keep up your good work!

As a dang diesel mechanic I've been trying to teach myself all this type of stuff. Mad props bro
You're so awesome! I'm so excited!!!
Really excited !
How did you make it touchscreen? Was it the monitor, or..?
mate you are dope and great, I would love to see more projects !
I'm very interested in this, but this is your last uploaded video, and your site isn't up. Do you have any updates for us?
woow !!
The mind behind it is so cool bro .keep it up
Just subscribed man keep uploading such content
Can you make a video showing step by step procedure of making one for our self? It would be very helpful if you would do so.
You could try using a "screen protector" that is anti glare for your mirror. Only thing is , I'm not sure that you would want one on a mirror. That and they may not make stuff like that , that big. Surely if it's attainable for a laptop screen you can get one for a mirror that size....right?
You. Are. Amazing.
You inspire me so much!!! 😁✊
What operating system do you use in a smart mirror, and how do you make it?
Thanks for the update! Can't wait to see the how to videos! If you end up making the kit are you going to be including the os? That's what made me interested in this in the first place. The os was really clean and looked a lot macOS
You've won me over bro.. totally subscribing.
And who knows? You might come up with a solution while doing other endeavors. Good luck to you bro
Thanks for this amazing video. Would you be willing to share your code and a list of hardware and links to buy? I want to build one for myself and I just don't know where to start. Your mirror works exactly how I'd like mine to work and about the right size I'm looking for. Any help and direction would be great! Thank you so much!
Hmmm, how about an eye tracking device like the Tobii and a raspberry? That way you could control things by looking at certain spots and blink. That would keep the mirror clean. =)
Man I wish this guy would make more videos
11 months ago you said you will upload videos "on regular basis"......well.......?????
He was kidnapped by google to create videos for them.... Actually, has anyone heard from him since? its kinda weird how he disappeared.
Are people like this on earth? i like this guy👍
