    I am waiting for my raspberry pi 3 to arrive as well, but haven’t ordered my IR frame yet so can’t help. But I am planning the same setup as you.
    I’ve read a few tutorials and it seemed fairly easy to do the calibration but apparently not.
    It seems a bit daring to go with the exact same setup and then just hope not getting the error that you getting. Perhaps I should go with a smaller IR frame that fits the screen… Or perhaps I should hope that the IR frame I’m ordering is better than yours. Even though it doesn’t sound like a problem with the frame…

      @mortenbirkelund Nah, I DO think there is a solution. I have just not found it yet. :) It’s better to be two persons “googeling” I guess. I may also have missed something, you never know. Do you want to share the tutorials you have found? I can try them out. :)
      I bought this frame: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32-points-32-Inch-IR-Multi-touch-overlay-kit-without-glass-for-Interactive-Table-Multi-Touch/1195149819.html
      Another thing that also got me to rethink to a bigger screen was the fact that the “Facial-Recognition” is not very fast. I never got it to recognize me faster then about 10-15 seconds standing in front of the camera (and that without it being behind the mirror and in daylight), and therefore it’s to slow. It may be OK for me, but I KNOW my wife never will agree to “wait” for the mirror to show her stuff. It’s a cool idea, but… So I also set it up to have “touch” buttons for each profile (with MMM-TouchNavigation)… Well… It’s still some road to walk before my mirror is complete. I’m currently waiting fir the actual mirror. :)

      If you cant find it, make it and share it!

        Well no specific. Just Google it and found a few guides that I browsed through. I didn’t went into details as I am still waiting for my raspberry pi 3. Currently I have MM installed on and old Lenovo laptop. Can’t wait for my raspberry pi to come 😊

          @mortenbirkelund I have read all of the 10 first topics in that search. :) But as I said before. It’s better with two brains googeling then one. :)

              @Bangee have you checked so the mirror and touchfilm are compatible? The foil I have doesn’t work with mirrors that have a metal coating.

                  I also thought about touch film but opted for the IR frame instead… Thanks for all the info!
