Magic Mirror

This investigation describes a novel design and implementation of an interactive multimedia mirror system, called "Magic Mirror." The Magic Mirror can be easily implemented in existing personal computers or hand-held device with normal peripherals and regular reflective glass by integrating image/speech processing, Internet connectivity, and 3D and multimedia software. The integrated Magic Mirror, which includes speech recognition, speech synthesis, face detection/modified/recognition, 3D virtual genius, hidden LCD mirror, and camera, performs simple syndication to capture information about peripherals and network connections. The user can easily activate personal multimedia services using verbal commands. The Magic Mirror can function like a good friend who listens to the user's questions and automatically responds to these requests, providing relaxation and consolation. Moreover, the Magic Mirror can detect a user's feeling based on speech and image recognition features to select the appropriate music and speech to alter the user's mood.
