Smart Mirror Using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

: Intelligent mirrors, which continue the works today and will take its place in the future technology provide both mirror and computer aided information services to its users. Thanks to the microcontroller cards onboard, these systems, which can connect to the internet and take data from the internet, can show this information on the places located on the mirror. In the scope of the study, the developed intelligent mirror system includes the weather information, time and location information, current event information, user information, and cam era image taken from web services using Raspberry Pi 3 microcontroller card. Some equipment can be controlled by voice commands via the microphone on the smart mirror .A smart mirror displays applications so that you can check the weather, local news, etc. while you are getting ready in the morning. The mirror will do the thinking for the user in a smart way. This smart mirror aims to reduce and possibly eliminate the need for the user to make time in their daily morning or nightly routine to check their PC, tablet, or smartphone for the information they need. The making of this smart mirror includes a micro-controller called Raspberry Pi which will act as a brain of the interactive system. The micro-controller will be powered using python scripts for mirror software as well as personal assistant. For making of this personal assistant an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account is required. Using the AWS, the Alexa function and a lexas kills using skill kit will be created. Once the function is setup, the function can be accessed using a command line after the software is installed. An 18’’ LED Monitor will be placed below an acrylic two-way mirror sheet and the model will be placed in a wooden frame .We’ll build a separate personal
