Smart mirror: A novel framework for interactive display

Our lifestyle has evolved in such a way that optimizing time is the most important thing. Based on the user studies and prototype implementation, we present the development of an innovating appliance that incorporates interactive services of information, offered through a user interface on the surface of a mirror. Our work is based on the idea that we all looks at the mirror when we go out, so why wouldn't the mirror become smart. The framework will offer basic services, like the presentation of personalized weather data, time, date and will incorporate some additional functionality, like reminder service by mobile synchronization and through social media. Our framework is based on detecting presence of human using Passive Infrared sensors and Wi-Fi connectivity. Once a person comes in front of the mirror, it displays the information that is being fed from the web. This data or information includes calendar, time, weather, news feed, notifications and so on. Our framework also discusses about the speech recognition and its application in control mechanism in home appliances and opening and closing of shelf. We use speech recognition to automate many tasks that usually requires hands-on human interaction, such as recognizing spoken commands to perform something like turning on lights or shutting a door. Our framework also introduces speech activated music player, and plays the music when a person gives a command.
