Abstract

This paper shows a comparison and design of a smart device-Smart Mirror. The smart mirror discussed here is mainly for home environment. This paper highlights some of the smart mirrors from different companies. These smart mirrors are not widely used due to cost or high requirements of hardware. The proposed smart mirror will be operated by Raspberry Pi and will be connected by real world through internet. The smart mirror will consist Raspberry Pi, LED monitor, speakers, camera, microphone with two-way mirror and acrylic glass. With the help of voice recognition api the mirror will communicate with the user through voice commands and responds them accordingly. The mirror could also support human gestures. The mirror will highlight some basic amenities like time, local news, weather. The mirror will also perform some advance functions such as booking a ride on Uber, face recognition, etc. This mirror with artificial intelligence will provide an extraordinary experience to the user.
