The computerĪnd, of course, we'll be running all this on the third best-selling computer of all time: the $35 Raspberry Pi.

:) If you want to use Alexa instead of Google Home for your magic mirror, install Alexa on your Raspberry Pi instead. If you just want to make a magic mirror (without the voice assistant), you can still use this guide simply skip the Google Home parts. This mirror can do everything that Google's Assistant can do! The Google Voice Kit turns this mirror into a full-blown Google Home. The Google AIY Voice hardware and software Want to see if your train is running late? Or what time you need to leave for work based on current traffic patterns? Or maybe find a pet to adopt or see how the Tampa Bay Rays are doing? It's amazing what the community has built. The Magic Mirror dashboardīy default the Magic Mirror dashboard shows the weather, calendar you choose, news ticker, current time, and - once you get into it - literally hundreds of other modules.

It can be mitigated by reducing screen brightness based on the time of day or by using a light sensor.

This is a bit of a downside but just the nature of two-way mirrors. Conversely, in a dark room, more of the screen becomes visible. In this way, a dark screen with white text will allow the text to be visible on the “mirror” side, producing a holographic effect. Like the mirrors in police interrogation rooms, the two-way mirror appears “mirror-like” from the brighter side, and “window-like” from the darker side. We'll install the Magic Mirror software on a Raspberry Pi computer, install the Google AIY Voice kit hardware and software, and then add a precut two-way mirror. As this highly-technical drawing shows, the basic idea here is to use the pi-top CEED as the display and housing for our magic mirror project.
