          @TheMexicoon The IR-frame mounts on top of the mirror frame, so it doesn’t really care what type of monitor you use, as long as the size of the frame is the same as the monitor. Most of the IR-frames for sale out there works on Linux, so in theory almost all IR-frames will work with the Raspberry Pi

          @johnnyboy pointed however out that you probably only get single-touch on linux, atleast I think it was Johnny

            @broberg how does the coding work because i was planning on using Android os on the Pi would that be a viable option? Im open to use linux but would prefer android

              @TheMexicoon Should work on android as well as long as the android OS and IR-Frame support each others.

              The frame should just be recognized and used as any other input (like mouse or keyboard), no coding should be necessary.

                                @TheMexicoon when I used to live in Australia everything was 2-3 times more expensive than elsewhere, but also the minimum salary was about 21$/hour so i think this is still a valuable price

                                Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                                    @TheMexicoon not saying that, but you probably can find the cheapest on aliexpress. my old roommate bought nearly everything there and sometimes even imported containers :D

                                          Thanks for the great advice, was wondering so these IR touch frames work with the acrylic see-through mirror film?
