Touch screen over two way mirror

[l8kerjuan]

@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

[broberg]

@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.

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 somebody succeed with this?

@nat know I miss very late but I now have experience with this!! I bought a touch screen overlay from PQ Labs and then I removed the glass sheet that came with it and replaced it with glass from www.twowaymirrors.com I made sure my glass fit perfectly and boom touchscreen mirror!

PQ Labs

I looked in their store and could not find the overlay, how much did it cost and is it a special order item?

also what Gen was it?

[ranger33]

@Hoosierdad google Peau Productions touch screen overlay it should come up! But yes you have to email them for an invoice! I ordered the no longer posted G4S overlay and it works great as it’s the only one with sizes small 32"

[Hoosierdad]

@ranger33 so you built a magic mirror with touch capability did your Fram go around the glass it self or behind the glass behind the monitor?

[ranger33]

@Hoosierdad Yes i built a magic mirror with touch capability, I’d be happy to send you pictures! I built my frame over top of the monitor and the glass so the only thing seen was the screen. It went over top the glass.

[Hoosierdad]

@ranger33 Yes please! that would be helpful.

i want to make mine similar to THIS

[ranger33]

@Hoosierdad yeah! mine functions similarly but i have no idea what software he’s running i just know it’s beautiful!

So did anyone figure out how they use a two-way mirror as a touch screen?
