ABSTRACT

Smart appliance designed with multimedia system intelligence to

produce comfortable, convenient, and secure personal services in home
becomes progressively necessary within the era of knowledge communication
technology. This reserch describes a novel style and implementation of an
interactive multimedia mirror system, known as \smart mirror." the
fundamental style of smart mirror is started with the glass that's to be used.
Two-way glass may be a suggested kind because it lets the graphics on a
show come back through clearer Mirror. Our lifestyle has evolved in such a
way that optimizing time is that the most significant factor. Based on a user
studies and model implementation, we present the event of the innovating
appliance that comes with interactive services of information, ordered through
a interface on a surface of the mirror. Our work is predicated on the concept
that we all look into the mirror after we leave, therefore why wouldn't a
mirror become smart. With the advancing technologies, sensible Mirrors can
take the place of normal mirrors within the future days, providing each mirror
and computer aided data services to its users.

With Raspberry Pi 3 microcontroller cards onboard, the systems will

connect with the web, take information from the web and may show the
information on places situated on a mirror. In the scope of study, the
developed intelligent mirror system includes a weather data, time and site
info, current event data, user information taken from web services using
Raspberry Pi three microcontroller card.
