Smart Mirror: A Device for Heterogeneous IoT Services

Abstract

In this paper, we present a prototype Smart Mirror that creates an interactive seamless access to internet services and displays real time information from IoT devices. The features of Smart Mirror are – it displays news and other relevant information, real time IoT data, controls devices in a smart home system, communicates with multiple devices simultaneously and can work flexibly based on the availability of internet. Additionally, the smart mirror can also work with a health monitoring device. It provides all these features with a minimum amount of user intervention. As a case study, to show the seamless interaction of the Smart Mirror, we have connected health monitoring device for tracking user’s health status. Instead of tracking and displaying the vital health parameters of the user, Smart Mirror uses data analytics algorithms to provide suggestions for health improvements.
