This smart mirror project integrates cutting-edge technologies to provide users with a dynamic and personalized experience. The mirror utilizes a Raspberry Pi and an LCD screen to display real-time information such as region-specific weather updates, curated news, and synchronized email and calendar events. The mirror's location is automatically determined through GPS, ensuring accurate and relevant information for the user.
To enhance environmental awareness, a gas sensor is incorporated to detect unusual odors in the surroundings, providing an added layer of safety and well-being. An infrared (IR) sensor is implemented to detect human presence and efficiently manage power consumption. The mirror switches on from sleep mode when someone approaches, and it automatically turns off in the absence of human presence, contributing to energy conservation.
The user interface is thoughtfully organized, with the top right corner dedicated to news updates, the top left corner displaying current weather conditions, the bottom right corner showcasing emails, and the bottom left corner featuring a synchronized calendar and time display. This layout ensures that users can easily access relevant information at a glance.
The smart mirror is designed to operate on a rechargeable battery, providing flexibility in placement without the constraints of a direct power source.
