I made one of these (not this fancy, just a recycled Android tablet mounted behind one-way mirror glass, running a home-made app) and highly recommend it. I was 100% prepared for it to be a novelty that we got bored of in a few months, but eight years later it's still awesome! You can see my mirror and app code at https://github.com/ineptech/mirror https://github.com/ineptech/mirror but the version in the play store is outdated (weather and stock ticker apps are broken due to the free APIs going away) and I've lost the Play store signing key needed to update it.
edit: biggest "lesson learned" I'd add here is, I experimented with both touch and voice support but didn't like either. I already have laptops and tablets aplenty to interact with, I prefer to use this mirror like a clock - glance at it when I want to information, and otherwise ignore it.

I already have laptops and tablets aplenty to interact with, I prefer to use this mirror like a clock - glance at it when I want to information, and otherwise ignore it. Clearly the answer is machine vision/camera/gesture input :) Maybe expression recognition - smile for weather, frown for stock ticker... :)
