  • Building a Smart Mirror is easy...IF you know how. Learn about the best glass to use, how to frame it, and how to add touchscreen technology. A Smart Mirror works by placing a transparent mirror in front of a display. It's important to use the best mirror and display possible for maximum clarity, so you'll want to use a mirror specifically designed for Smart Mirrors. You can use any brand and model of monitor, tablet, or TV you like.

    // FRAMING //
    Simply use a shadowbox frame. Here's how it all fits together. The frame is in the front, which holds the glass and touchscreen in place. The shadowbox is deep, which hides the sides of your display.
    // CHOOSING YOUR MIRROR //
    To achieve great picture quality, you'll need a Smart Mirror or Dielectric Mirror. The Smart Mirror is available in both glass and acrylic, both offer great reflection and transparency. In large sizes, such as 40" and above, I recommend choosing the glass to make sure your reflection is perfectly flat. We also offer tempering in case you need your glass to be extra sturdy.

    Avoid the two way mirror film at all costs, because its blurry and bubbles over time.
    Final step! Once you've added your display, simply plug in a Raspberry Pi, Android, or Windows PC and you're done.

    Idk why everybody's being mean. It's a small channel (sub quarter mil, so... "small?") and she tried to put some extra effort into it for us. If you don't like it, by all means, disclose it, but at least be constructive about it. I don't see anyone else here - myself included - making any content. It's easy to be a jerk on the internet because it's impersonal, but you had ought to still at least keep some level of professionalism. You're still talking to real people.
    While I personally didn't enjoy the excess of energy and effort on the hostess' side, I appreciate the effort that she took to produce something she felt was good enough for us to consume and I hope that she keeps making videos, grows her channel to keep providing us with cool shit too watch, and, uh, adjusts her energy levels a bit :P

Maybe trying to forget the camera and imagine you're just talking to one of your family members or your best friend will result in presentations that got that natural feel. Just try to be yourself as natural as posible and the final result will be just great. Thanks for your effort!

    How do I incorporate a touch screen? Is that the IR remote thingy you talk about? Or do I purchase a touch screen over lay. Or is the touch screen overlay the IR part you mention. When assembled would it be DIELECTRIC GLASS-TOUCH SCREEN/IR - DISPLAY?
    Could I use a large touch screen monitor then put the dielectric glad in front of it? I'm so close to putting all together in my head,those are the only things left to complete. Thank you so much in advance!

    • @twowaymirrors
      @twowaymirrors  5 лет назад +2

      I know, it can be a lot to take in! You'll need a monitor/tv/display, a dielectric mirror (or smart mirror) and IR Touch Overlay to add touch capability to a diy smart mirror project. Then you'll need a frame to hold those three things together. The frame will be the closest layer, then the IR frame, then the glass, then the tv/display will be the last layer furthest away from the front. Check out the article guide I wrote for more details: www.twowaymirrors.com/diy-smart-mirror/

    • @twowaymirrors
      @twowaymirrors  5 лет назад

      You are totally right! You definitely do not want to start out with a touch screen because the mirror will make it not work anymore. That is why you need a screen with no touch like a computer monitor or TV, then add the touch by using an IR Touch Overlay. Less commonly... people will use a tablet because they are up-cycling it - just note that once it is behind the mirror you cannot interact with it via touch.
      The terms I used in the video were "IR Touch Overlay" and "Touch Overlay" - both talking about the same thing. You may also need an IR Repeater if you are using a TV (which relocates the eye of the TV) to allow the remote to work through the mirror. This would only be needed if you are framing it right to the screen or are covering the sensor with paint.

      I would recommend using PCAP foil! With the touch foil, you can use any size screen and mirror that you desire and the touch aspect would only be where you applied the foil. Here's a direct link to our DIY Smart Mirror webpage!

    What do you think about using the raspberry pi 4 compared to the 3b+? Also is there a link for the acrylic pane? I would prefer to have a more clear display then the glass. The glass is clear but I believe you were right when showing how well the acrylic displayed the screen. And how much did everything cost to make your set up? Also I see everyone being kind of negative to you, but I think it was a good video! I appreciate how in depth you were! If I could offer some advice it would be to try and record the display through the glass and the acrylic straight on instead of at an angle, I just saw a lot of stuff that was kinda in the way of the display. Other than that it was a good video

    • @twowaymirrors
