Smart Mirror using Raspberry Pi

The Internet transformed our lives by connecting us more easily to information and other people in the virtual world. Mobile phones then became smart-phones and since then this concept has erupted and morphed into the Internet of Things, things which connect us to everyday objects. There is no end of objects that could be made “smarter�, some being more suited to this than others. Mirrors, for example, provide a large surface ideal for displaying information and interacting with. Most people have mirrors at home so the concept of a smart mirror that we can interact with is attractive. The device was to go beyond an ordinary mirror. The device was to look like a regular mirror but would have a screen inside and you would be able to interact with it. The main features would be showing basic weather, location based time information, reminders, calendar, news update, etc. The additional feature in this mirror is to display the youtube window on mirror which plays video of whatever we want using chromecast operation. One more interesting feature is there that is PIR sensor which works as motion sensor .If the person is come infornt of mirror then only mirror will start otherwise the smart mirror act as simply a mirror and the power consumption is also done.
