Abstract - The Smart Mirror introduce the design and the
development of a futuristic Smart Mirror with an artificial
intelligence for the home environment as well as forindustrial
use. The smart mirror would collect real world machine data
and the data would be transmitted from the machine and
would be managed by the Raspberry Pi 4. The Smart Mirror is
developed as a personalized device which includes Raspberry
Pi 4, microphone, speakers, LCD screen covered with a
reflective one way mirror. This provides the real time weather
forecast, latest news updates, local time corresponding to the
location. And using Amazon Alexa we can therefore interact
with the mirror and get the required output. The advantages
of this Smart Mirror are that is compact, cost-effective and
user-friendly. In addition, its vast application promise, people
of all ages can make use of this system.

1. INTRODUCTION
Smart mirror is basically a mirror, which provides the
information which we need inourday-to-daylife,asweather
report, real time news, time, etc. The mirror has a LCD
screen at the back which will be showing all the information,
as this was an existing system by reference[1] and to thiswe
have implemented a personal assistant so that can interact
with the mirror and the user.
Based on this interactive computing and communication
technologies, many devices/productsarenowemergingand
it is providing comfortable, secure and convenient personal
services everywhere whether it is home or various
industries. We look at the mirror daily and interact with it
psychologically to find out how we look. The interactive
mirror is a development effort by adding the mirror with
proper embeddedintelligenceforofferingenhancedfeatures
such as weather of the city, latest updates of news and
headlines and local time correspondingtothelocationwhich
was previously developed by the references. The Smart
Mirror would help in developing smart houses with
embedded artificial intelligence, as well as finding its
applications in industries, smart office, and other
applications.
It can do all the work which we command it to, as it has a
personal assistant which will listen to your commands and
will response according to it. The smart mirror has
microphone through which it will listen to the commands,
and there is speaker from which it will give its response.
Smart mirror have the some capabilities like showing date
and time which was done before when it was developed, but
objective of this project is as follows: It must be capable of
showing all the real time data, the Smart Mirror must be
capable of showing the information on the screen correctly,
the screen should not affect the reflection of a person, the
Smart Mirror must take the voice command as the input and
give the required response to the user, and the Alexa should
provide proper response.
2. PROPOSED SYSTEM
The Smart Mirror is basicallya Personal AssistantforHuman
Interaction between the Mirror and user. The Smart Mirror
is proposed in such a way that it provides day to day life
information simultaneously while getting ready. It provides
information such as Real Time, Calendar, Indian Holidays,
Current Weather Forecast and also upcoming day’s weather
forecasting according to the Smart Mirror’s Geo-Location,
RSS News Feeds and compliments, while getting ready. The
Raspberry PI 4 module is used which includes the Raspbian
Operating System based on Debian. We are developing
design using Raspberry Pi4 Module which is usedto retrieve
the data by using wifi connectivity. The Alexa is used for
interaction between Mirror and User to gain Information.
Fig -1: Proposed Design

The Smart Mirror is a personal Assistant built using
Raspberry Pi4 Module. A LCD display by Sony Corp. of 14-
inches is used to build a mirror.Aunidirectional microphone
with 5V input supply is used to give commands to mirror.
Alexa is a voice response model which is used to respond
asked queries which makes the Smart Mirror Artificially
Intelligent.
2.1. HARDWARE SECTION
2.1.1 Raspberry Pi
Fig -2: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
The Raspberry Pi is a Single-Board Computer. It is heart of
the Smart Mirror. It is used to make the system interactive
and all the processing takes place in this chip-set.Itprovides
the OS required running the Smart Mirror efficiently.
The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is the newest Raspberry Pi
computer made, and the Pi Foundation knows you can
always make a good thing better! And what could make the
Pi 4 better than the 3? How about a faster processor,USB 3.0
ports, and updated Gigabit Ethernet chip with PoE
capability? Good guess - that's exactly what they did!
The Raspberry Pi 4 is the latest product in the Raspberry Pi
range, boasting an updated 64-bit quad core processor
running at 1.4GHz with built-in metal heat sink, USB 3 ports,
dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHzwirelessLAN,faster(300mbps)
Ethernet, and PoE capability via a separate PoE HAT.
You can still use all your favoriteRaspbianorPIXEL software
with this update. You MUST make sure to upgrade your
Raspbian operating system install to the latest version so
that the firmware can support the new chips. Old SD cards
from previous releases will not work without a upgrade.
The dual-band wireless LAN comes with modular
compliance certification, that's the metal tin in the corner of
the Pi, with the logo stamped on it. This allows the board to
be designed into end products with significantly reduced
wireless LAN compliance testing, improving both cost and
time to market.
2.1.2 Two-way Mirror
Fig -3: Two-Way Mirror
A two-way mirror, also called one-way mirror (or one-way
glass, half-silvered mirror, and semi-transparent mirror), is
a reciprocal mirror that is reflective on one side and
transparent at the other. The perception of one-way
transmission is achieved when one side of the mirror is
brightly lit and the other side is dark. This allows viewing
from the darkened side but not vice versa.
The glass is coated with a thin and almost-transparent layer
of metal (window film usually containing aluminum). The
result is a mirrored surface that reflects some light. Light
always passes equallyinbothdirections.However,when one
side is brightly lit and the other is kept dark, the darker side
becomes difficult to see from the brightlylitside becauseitis
masked by the much brighter reflection of the lit side.
2.1.3 LCD Screen
Fig-4: LCD Screen

The LCD Screen is used to provide an output to the
Raspberry Pi. All the information such as, time, weather,
news is displayed on this screen. It provides the base of the
Smart Mirror. It is connected to the using the HDMI Cable.
2.1.4 VGA to Micro HDMI Cable
Fig-5: HDMI cable
Micro HDMI is connected to the raspberry pi and the VGA
cable is used to connect the with the LCD screen. It helps in
displaying the output on the LCD screen.
2.1.5 Microphone
Fig-6: Microphone
The Microphone is connected to the using the USB cable. It
provides as a speech input to the Raspberry pi. It is used to
provide speech recognition to the system and makes the
model more interactive.
2.2. SOFTWARE SECTION
2.2.1 Raspbian OS
Raspbian is a free operating system based on Debian
optimized for the Raspberry Pi hardware. Raspbian comes
with over 35,000 packages; pre-complied software bundled
in a nice format for easy installation on Raspberry Pi
computer.
2.2.2 NodeJS
NodeJS is an open-sourcecross-platformJavaScript run-time
environment for executing JavaScript code server-side. It
comes included with Electron which is used to launch
processes to control things that are not available in web
API’s such as the sensors and microphones for voice
recognition.
2.2.3 Python
Python is a widely used high-level programming language
for general-purpose programming, created by Guido Van
Rossum and first released in 1991. It has lots of support and
libraries which makes it very popular among raspberry pi
community. Most of the codes of this project were written in
python.
3. SETUP OF PROJECT

4. CONCLUSIONS
The main objective is to design a Smart Mirror that will be
helpful for the residential as well as commercial purposes. A
good project can’t be produced without proper research
first. Similar projects and products were analyzed for
similarities, improvements, and flaws in them. The
programming and interfacing of raspberry pi has been
helpful during the implementation. It is one kind of a
Personal Assistant for the Smart Mirror’s user. The Smart
Mirror will help to reduce the time needed by the user in a
daily routine. After overcoming the problemswefaceduring
the project, we have successfully designed a Smart Mirror.
The Smart Mirror gives the functionality like Real Time,
Indian Calendar, Weather Forecast, and Upcoming Days
weather situation, RSS News Feeds, and Alexa forthehuman
Interaction with the Mirror and to get the required correct
information.
5. FUTURE SCOPE
We aim at designing a smart mirror that provides an
ambient environment between users and the internet.Itwill
help the users in their daily activities. The smart mirror can
also be implemented in various industrial and home
applications. Hence IoT proves out to be an important
technology for making household appliances smart. The
facial recognition technology used in the smart mirror
proves out to be an important means of security. Smart
mirrors can be connected to home appliances and smart
phones. The mirrors can detect face and provide access to
personalized services. The mirror can also be implemented
to recognize emotions. With the help of emerging
technologies, smart mirrors canbeadvancedtotouchscreen
