Now-a-days the internet has become more common in our lives. It can connect us more easily to information and other people in a virtual world. Mobile phones turned into smart phones and since then this concept has erupted and morphed into Internet of Things (IOT). IOT is a network of objects or things that are embedded and enables the objects to collect and exchange data. So the objects can become even smarter day-by-day. For example, mirrors provide a large surface to display information and to interact with. Everyone have mirrors at homes, schools, offices etc., thus the concept of smart mirror can be attractive and also been fantasized in futuristic movies. A smart two-way mirror is a science fiction and a part of optimistic vision of future and imagines a world which has screens and data that are available everywhere, ready to provide whatever information is needed at any moment. The main purpose of the system is to use it as a hands free product with an electronic display. When voice or camera is enabled, the smart mirror is used to view different kinds of information such as weather, time, date and news feed automatically. Voice assistant system is used to enable Google search engine, Google calendar and notifications based on user’s commands. Camera controlled system is used as a security surveillance camera. So, the voice assistant along with camera is integrated to the two-way mirror converts the functionality of normal mirror into an Interactive Smart Mirror.
