If you choose this option, ensure that your power supply is capable of providing sufficient power to both devices. An option is to have a single power supply and a single lead, such as the one available here, which splits to provide both micro USB and USB-C connectors.

This project will require two power supplies: one for your Raspberry Pi, plus a USB-C power supply for the display itself. Don’t be tempted to use an old spare phone charger you may have lying around, as it may not provide sufficiently reliable power. We recommend the official USB-C and micro USB power supplies, as they are designed to provide a consistent +5.1V with captive (that is, attached) USB cable. Power supplies: projects like these are often left powered for long periods of time, so it’s important to have a good quality power supply for your Raspberry Pi. If you decide to use a Raspberry Pi 4, you’ll need a USB-C power supply and slightly larger M3 20mm standoffs to accommodate the larger board. Raspberry Pi: this project works with all models of Raspberry Pi, but in order to maintain the intended slim look of our mirror we will be using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+, which requires a micro USB power supply.

3D-printed drill bit alignment jig – STL files available for free hereĬhoosing the right Raspberry Pi and other parts.Prying tool (used to disassemble monitor).Craft knife and metal ruler (for cutting card sheet).This is likely to work out much more cheaply than buying the items individually. Where we haven’t linked to a particular product for an item in this list, we’ve given its specification in such a way that copying and pasting it into the search box of your favourite online retailer should help you locate what you need.īuying tip: the nylon spacers, nuts, and bolts listed above often come in kits, such as the one available here. A3-sized 3mm thick two-way acrylic mirror sheet (as available here).A3-sized 2mm thick clear acrylic (plexiglass) sheet (as available here).

Portable slim 15.6″ HDMI USB-C monitor (such as this one).microSD card (you may also need an SD card adapter, for setup).Micro USB power supply (for the Raspberry Pi).Additional tools and craft skills will be kept to an absolute bare minimum to make this project as uncomplicated as possible, but we will still produce a sleek and modern-looking smart mirror.

While a mirror on the wall in the interrogation room appears to be a regular mirror, on the other side the cops are standing and looking through what appears to be a window.įor this project, we will be using a Raspberry Pi 3A+ connected to a disassembled ultra-thin 15.6-inch 1080p USB-C-powered monitor, mounted behind a specially manufactured piece of pre-cut A3-sized acrylic mirror.

Almost every police show or movie illustrates this when officers interrogate a suspect. Smart mirrors all work around the same principle: they display an image on a screen mounted behind a two-way mirror that allows a small amount of light to pass through, letting you see the display, while still retaining the reflective properties of a mirror. Combine that with the power, size, and form factor of Raspberry Pi 3A+, and you have yourself a magic recipe. We’ll be building one into a frameless modern design using standard-sized parts and materials in order to minimise the DIY tools and skills required. Happily, display technology has advanced, and now is an excellent time to revisit this project using new low-voltage, ultra-slim displays. As a result, a smart mirror was not usually a realistic project unless you were completely comfortable dealing with high-voltage electricity, not to mention having the DIY skills required to make a custom frame. The makers of early smart mirrors often had to remove a bulky computer monitor from its housing, which entailed dealing with power and wiring issues.

Their popularity and appeal haven’t declined with time, and the idea of performing your morning ablutions in front of a mirror that displays your day’s schedule, monitors your home’s systems, and offers up a cheeky joke still sounds a bit like a scene out of a sci-fi movie. Smart mirrors, or magic mirrors as they’re often called, have been around for several years and are nearly always near the top of any maker’s would-love-to-do list.
