See Your Morning Updates Reflected On Data-Personalizable Mirror MirrorMirror wants to fundamentally change the nature of your morning preparations by taking a standard medium-sized mirror and bringing it into the future. At the base of the frame, a display can be placed over the reflection. This display will show updates chosen by the user from social media and the Internet, such as posts by friends, meeting reminders or a weather report.

Features of the mirror include facial recognition, gesture comprehension, a webcam, speech-to-text recognition, and a durable screen that doesn™t interfere with the mirror reflectiveness. The user interacts with MirrorMirror using gestures and speech commands to program it.

The display layout is equally personalizable, allowing a user to set updates at the top, weather and news at the bottom, and a space for communication with family along one side or any other configuration they need.

A business could install MirrorMirror to communicate team-wide messaging or display the month event calendar at all times. The mirror also allows users to set a space to hand-write notes to other users with the tip of a finger.

MirrorMirror created their first prototype in 36 hours from a simple design with plywood, an old monitor, and acrylic screen.

It displayed the weather, time, and a feed of Reddit factoids. The second prototype featured an aluminum frame and a one way glass, with greatly improved visibility and responsiveness.

MirrorMirror creators have announced no timeline for further development, but are committed to bringing the device to market after further development and testing iterations. They encourage anybody interested in this next step in home electronics to sign up for their newsletter and receive updates on the project progress.
