Android tablet and some two-way mirror plastic so you can get a heads up on your day ahead before you leave the house I found this project on github by Hannah myth and since I've never done any Android development before I thought it would be a fun place to start I downloaded the Android development software for my computer and proceeded to follow the instructions about how to load in an app the trickiest part for me was making sure I had the right SDKs installed for the version of Android I was running and getting that connection going once I updated the firmware on my Android tablet and I had all the right SDKs installed the program just ran and it was super fun and satisfying this is a great project to do with an older Android device that you're not really using for anything currently and it can show you the date the time the weather your stocks and even the latest xkcd you can find two-way mirror plastic online or at your local plastic store and they'll usually cut it to size for you or you can laser cut a more fun design to install the mirror in your house just use double sided tape to stick the Android tablet to one corner of your two-way mirror plastic and then cover the rest of the mirror plastic in a dark material like black construction paper then just mount it on your wall with a power supply running to a wall outlet and set your display preferences to never turn the display off while the device is plugged in then you've got a smart mirror for your entryway it's your house that'll give you the critical info right before you leave thanks for watching

create a connected community capable of running applications mirror and display information in real time as we look at it every morning according to the company it is a low-cost project that anyone can make of course with basic knowledge on the subject when called magic mirror can be added features depending on the components that we have but the base is built on an LED 23 inch monitor with a sheet of double-sided mirror which can be larger than the monitor which also it serves to hide the components the mirror will be able to show information such as time date time financial data in the
