That's what I thought too. The design and gesture control is amazing and very intuitive. This guy just really knows what he is doing!

+Joaquin Soto the Uber driver!

+MrHow2fail He's probably way past that point in his life.

+StoneyX213 LOL i'm not 42.

+MrHow2fail mate, all he did was create his own software and most likely did some unique workings with current hardware to make an awesome interactive mirror that has interactive surface and a beautiful UI. You want into MIT? You pull apart a clock and put it in a pencilbox.

+MrClae Bro have you done such a thing? I am ready to fly you to the Whitehouse and meet pres obama ASAP.

+TheSoundYouNeed could also be a kinect type camera hidden in the frame for easily implemented gestures!

+TheSoundYouNeed Love your channel :) Keep up the good music.

I love how the expression "ordering an Uber" has become almost more standard than "calling a taxi". I guess all those harassment videos gave Uber some deserved exposure. Also, I agree that the mirror getting dirty is a downside, but I have a feeling that a setup where you're not physically touching anything will feel quite awkward. Maybe there's a type of glass or other way to reduce smudges and fingerprints. Really cool work, GangstersGiggle!

Having a sensor like you mentioned but implementing the option of toggling it on and off for preference and situation would be a real neat addition though.

+TheSoundYouNeed And so the government can see you in the shower

Skyrim Extra Special Edition

Great point.... LMAO

oh no!!!! now my girlfriend will be there for days!!!!! not hours but dddddaaaayyyyyyaaayyyyyssssssssssss!!!!!!

Can it Hub?

Im Dying 🤣

+theblur yeah those after effects are dope right. lol its nothing he built its obvious, that its a normal mirror thats why the camera never moves.

+DeuceDrop that would Rank1 Troll for sure. fucking hilarious though

GeekyNet im just saying finding a troll who knows how to do special effects is much more likely than finding a 17 year-ish old kid whos revolutionized mirrors and somehow on his own managed to make a bunch of apps that are identical to already existing ones. also the sound went weird when he turned off the music, im on to him and his shitty sound editing

+DeuceDrop - You think this is somehow a high tech mirror?? Its just a computer screen behind a one-way mirror. Hundreds of people have made the exact same thing. They're all over the internet. This is the first I've seen with a touch interface but thats not difficult. Also, the reason why it look like he's opening up apps that are "identical to existing ones" is because thats all it is. Its an interface that opens up other peoples apps. Its not like he wrote them himself. This is an afternoon worth of coding in a weekend worth of construction. None of it is revolutionary, or new. It just takes someone with some time and interest. The "special effects" trick to fake this would probably be more work than actually building it.

Ron Berry more work but far less money and time if you know what you are doing, i never said i believed in anything he was doing im sure i was the one calling him out for being fake, its simple after effects work might take a couple of days, and yes he did say he wrote those apps, so thats just more evidence of him being full of it

+Daniel Burgess That was the first thing I thought also. Amazing though all the same.

+Daniel Burgess He has confirmed on reddit this is possible.

+Daniel Burgess If he's programmed all of this so far, it wouldn't be that hard to implement something like that.

+Daniel Burgess apparently its fake. bc you cant run some apps he show on non apple products, he has a record of using effects before and no smudges on the screen

@@wltr2302 it's not fake, check his newest video

Mikey Bolts hellooo

+Dreighen Just add a little touch pen to it and your all done with your fingerprint worries

+Karl Alfred Why, oh why would you want a pen in the bathroom? Voice integration is far more ergonomic and contextually suitable. This isn't a tablet you're working with, it's something you're using passively while getting ready in the morning.

didn't expect you to put it in bathroom

imagine trying to clean it and shits going spastic, temp UP/DOWN, volume UP/DOWN

+Nik Nak prob a feature to ignore input for cleaning purposes and wait for a specific gesture

+Caleb Rivera or you could just shut it off XD

+Dan Ingbritson Yeah gestures without even touching would be even more awesome.

+Jiecut RandomPlace I agree, a nice cmos camera would be sweet

+bestieswithtesties John never existed.

+ATypical No, but RealGangstersGiggle did.

+ATypical Exactly what I was thinking lolol

Yeah, I very liked

+JoeJoe The Capybara I thought I was the only one thinking about this

+JoeJoe The Capybara Fingerprint-resistant materia?

+JoeJoe The Capybara this kid built some amazing tech and people like you feel smart for finding one issue wrong with it.

+Nate Mann an important issue, you ass

+Nate Mann Nobody's saying that this is a bad idea, chill out. I don't think it's unreasonable to take issue with the idea that an expensive piece of technology will probably be full of smudges and little flecks of toothpaste within 24 hours of using it and thus require constant cleaning (that may require specific supplies due to the fact that it's electronic). Chances are that the creator of this design will address this in the future if he hasn't done so already, but until then I don't see any problem with pointing out potential problems with said design.

+101publicenemy What you think this is the first one? LOL

+101publicenemy pretty sure i've already seen these being made commercially

+101publicenemy TOO LATE I HAVE BEGUN THE PROCESS

+101publicenemy This tech isn't new, only the software is (and it's wouldn't really be hard to make for existing developers)

+Ace Cat don't be a dick about it LOL he's just one of today's 10,000(+?)

+IAmScooterDude720 My thoughts too

oleophobic costing.

I think the point of the mirror is to be a quick and easy multi-tasker for your morning routine. Wake up, fix hair in mirror while checking weather and putting on music, head out the door etc. Unless you want to use the touchscreen function for an extended period of time, putting on gloves every time you want to adjust the volume or quickly your email/messages seems like a waste of time and money, and at that point you might as well just pull out your phone.

+Milphide - "Tactile surfaces", do you even know that that word means? A mirror is quite literally the opposite of a "tactile surface". Besides, using gloves kinda defeats the purpose of this mirror. Use a grease resistant surface coating instead.

+IAmScooterDude720 I don't think it's gonna be a problem, my guess is that over the mirror there is an extralayer material that does the touchscreen function so it might not get as dirty as the actual mirror which is underneath.

No it was yesterday. what took you so long? ;)

+Benjamin Brigante Yup. This will be on many peoples got to have list.

***** as I said, with that UI.

+Dan Devlin sure, he'll make one just for you

So just a tablet?

are you the real backyard scientist??

jef3000 yo mama *No, he's just verified. Of course he is the real one.*

People made it before him. its nothing new

late answer but yes he used a raspberry pi

and also magic mirror modules

@@balllallalllalllallalhqbal2798 are you sure? he said in the how to build video, he build it with objective c & c++

@@balllallalllalllallalhqbal2798 Nope he built his from the ground up. Really did a nice job too.

+Jaden Yuki surprising how your litterally blown away by something people have been doing for years and the same stuff used on cars since 2006. But dont let that fact get in the way of your ignorance. The guys good. He made his own UI for the thing and didnt rely on open source resources like MagicMirror². Were not jealous. Were just cringing on how people like you think its something revolutionary

I know right!? John was probably like sweet I can get the guarantee for the hour...then cancel... he was probably head back to where he gets pings and missed an exit just for your ping.

Im pretty sure this is using a raspberry pi (with his own programming) so it has wi-fi and bluetooth

I'm making a coffee table with the raspberry pi 3 what I need the most is how to make it touch screen

he used uber on it man im sure internet is running

@wally You need a touchscreen?

People made it before him. its nothing new

been on your car since 2006. But only now you acknowledge it?

Nah, 46 is niiiiice

The entire platform is in beta, prebeta at that. The purpose, in part, is just to demonstrate how the os works. Integration with other systems, like any platform in development, almost always comes secondary. I think he's just trying to show that the Smart Mirror could have a lot of versatile and practical applications.

That's why hes wearing a jacket.

Justin McNeil wash your hands.

except fingerprints come from natural oils on your skin and have nothing to do with how clean they are...

Yes, if the computer powering it is powerful enough. But it's probably a Raspberry Pi, unlikely to play anything more than Minecraft InfDev.

Luke Karam Search diy smart mirror on KZfaq

Zeaiclies yes, but this guys software is next level

Luke Karam​ It is just writing your own script and GUI. It looks Linux based, so Python or something similar. You could do one with Android or even KODI. Android would be pre built, thus a lot easier.

+Zeaiclies I recently started my smart mirror build how would I get the android program onto it? Any help would be appreciated
