Magic Mirror

A Raspberry Pi powered Magic Mirror

What it does

A magic mirror is a raspberry pi powered monitor behind a double sided mirror. A mostly black web page allows you to add some widgets to the mirror’s reflection as if by magic. This version includes widgets for displaying the weather forecast, the date/time and a nice randomly generated greeting. No low level hardware hacking required, just some basic woodworking and some code I’ve already put together. The size of the mirror is really dictated by the kind of monitor you get. I wanted to get something large as possible but also with a removeable arm so it could fit inside of a case. Another important aspect is making sure you get a monitor with the inputs towards the center of the monitor…from blog.dylanjpierce.com
