Google Software engineer Max Braun has developed a 'smart mirror' which gives him important updates as the
weather, date, time and other important
news.
The mirror is powered by Android
and is developed using the Android APIs.
. . Talking about its project in a blog post,
Barun said, "I ordered myself a two-way
mirror, a display panel and controller
board, plus a bunch of components and
arts and crafts supplies.
The display is only a couple of millimeters thin and embedded in a layer between the two-way mirror glass and the door of the medicine cabinet.
That way it looks immaculate, and I can keep using all the shelf space
inside."
. . The mirror comes with a very basic
interface and complies of relevant
information. Moreover, he is further
planning to incorporate other important
updates such as traffic updates,
appointment reminders and many others.
The Android-powered smart mirror is a
prototype and the engineer is working
towards making it more intelligent by
adding new features.
