The visual representation of the product is similar to a regular mirror that can display weather details, temperature, time and daily news on voice commands. The smart mirror acts as a personal assistant, an enquiry center and displays important curriculum or college notices. It can answer basic questions, display class timetable and show directions to various places of an institute. It could be linked to google cloud for various IOT based tasks like home automation etc. It uses a proximity sensor to turn on the screen if in use and turn back off when not in use. Built on a strong speech to text engine, it understands various types of accents to understand predefined command clearly. The smart or interactive mirror designed by using a raspberry pi as the main controller and a led display that is placed behind the mirror, can serve a variety of endless application-based commands. With such a wide range of applications, this could certainly become an important part of technology in future times.
