IoT based Interactive Smart Mirror
2017
Abstract
Recent Advancement in Internet of Things (IoT) technology has seen many application mainly related with automation. Modernizing home appliances have become a trend but the only thing that has not been modernized is mirror. The Mirror being the most used objects in the house but there’s been no advancement in its design and application. Our project focuses on modernizing the mirror by enhancing its functionality at the same time make it more interactive and useful in saving our precious time. A mirror’s function is to display reflection of anything that comes in front of it. We present the idea of Smart Mirror which displays real-time information like mobile notifications, email notifications, Calendar, Live weather updates, reminders, and so on. In addition to this Amazon’s Alexa services have been used so that mirror takes voice commands from user. Available Smart Mirror lacks privacy of data and makes use of PIR sensor to recognize a human being also that Smart Mirror can only be ...
