Touch screen over two way mirror
-
I would like to build magic mirror photo booth. Besides LCD monitor and two way mirror I should use touch screen overlay. What would be better a touch screen foil or touch screen overlay usb?
-
I have no experience with either, but I would guess the USB screen overlay is better.

Hey,did you manage to build the mirror photo booth?
I would like to build one too…I have read on internet haw is made ,but i am confused.What i need to do one mirror photo booth.
How i can make the mirror to be toch screen?
If you have some project,can you help me,please? -
I’m still working on my mirror, but I’ve bought a IR frame from aliexpress and it works good!

Hi all…
I would also like to make my own magic mirror photo booth. I did a lot of research on internet. Who could solve the issue of the touchscreen functionality using a two way mirror? Does it work like this, that you put an IR frame on the mirror? Which IR frame did you choose? and my last question… which mirror booth software did you choose?Thanks a lot
-
IR-frame or touchfoil would work, IR frames are slightly cheaper and touchoils have the advantage that they are mounted on the inside instead of the outside
-
@broberg thanks a lot for this first information… can I buy every two way mirror for this, or should I consider something special?
-
@r0mantic0 you can get any mirror you like, neither the ir frame or touchfoil cares about what mirror you use.
The only thing I can think of is that the touchfoil could be a bit cranky if you use an acrylic mirror and not glass, due to the fact that touchfoils are capacative.
-
@r0mantic0 I was thinking to use a mirror from the company Pilkington (MirroView OR Mirropane Spy). Then I think the IR frame should 100% work, but maybe it is better to use a touchfoil in this case (?)
-
@r0mantic0 the pilkington mirroview will be a good choice, personally I would go with the touchfoil, then you have no limitations on how the frame is built, the ir frame need to protrude a bit from the glass.
-
@AlessandroRa could you post a link to item you purchased?
-
I asked the company infotronik for the touch foil, the answer was:
the problem with the touch foil: the mirror contain metalic components which would cause problems using the touch foil
the problem with the IR frame is that it can’t be used behind the mirror
so i thing the best solution would be the IR frame… but in some forums I was reading also that with the mirror can be used either a touch foil or the IR frame… hmmm, now I am confused
-
@r0mantic0 Haven’t thought about that at all, so had to try it, and they are indeed correct, the metal coating in the mirror acts as a conductor and anywhere you touch on the mirror gets amplified over the entire area. And thus renders the touchfoil useless.
Crap.
Need a new solution for my own mirror now.

@AlessandroRa said in Touch screen over two way mirror:
I’m still working on my mirror, but I’ve bought a IR frame from aliexpress and it works good!
Which size did you get?
-
Anyone have a forum or link for the photobooth builds?
This would also be so fun to build and have but on the coding side I’m no expert. On every thing else I’m handy enough to find solutions I think. -
@1m2 Look up to the top and ask that guy… he wanted one too… maybe he found a way.
-
Hi,
is anybody solve the problem with foil behind mirror? I asked several company’s for info and thay tell me that Projected capacitive will be the best sollution but miror may not contain metal inside. Is thare mirror / glass that is good to use with foil which does not create interference?
Is somebody succeed with this? -
@Marko I would also like to know what type of two way mirror is best for PCAP foils/screens!
