      @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.

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.

                      @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!

                        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?

                          @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"

                            @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?

                              @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.

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

                                          @janthonyds IR frame is the easiest solution.
