Very cool, though I'm disappointed that it's not interactive. I agree that touch isn't the right choice for a mirror, but that's not the only option.
Adding a camera and a bit of OpenCV code could give you a "light" version of a Kinect interface -- broad gestures or hand signs shouldn't be hard to use to change modes.
Or a microphone and some voice recognition. Not sure what the open-source state of the art is like, but if you were to burn Android on it, Google has some pretty awesome voice recognition APIs you can use.
- pdenya 12y agoVoice recognition is a good thought and totally doable. A camera probably isn't a great choice for a bathroom mirror though.
- SomeCallMeTim 12y agoGood point. :)
- unfunco 12y agoThe Leap Motion device might be another option. https://www.leapmotion.com https://www.leapmotion.com
- vanderZwan 12y agoIt's not, because just like the Kinect it uses infrared, which is blocked by the mirror.
- jfthiigsegbje 12y agoFine if it's in the bezel.
- danudey 12y agoOr mounted above the mirror.
- vanderZwan 12y agofair enough
- cam_l 12y agoTouch can work with the right setup. Know a guy who sells bathroom mirror and splash back setups, along with custom android & Apple interface.. Works pretty well, looks amazing.

- augdx 12y agoYeah, fun stuff! I wrote the software for this project a couple of years ago: http://www.sester.net/tell-me-the-truth/ http://www.sester.net/tell-me-the-truth/ It used a camera and the faceAPI from Seeing Machines to overlay a digital Andy Warhol on the viewer's face, tracking their motions and saying Andy Warhol-like things periodically :-)
