    @DongerZone said in Touch overly VS. “Smart Glass”:

    I’m going to be working on this soon, after I get my modules reacting to my mouse. I think putting a transparent capacitive touch panel, in front of the mirror, might give you this effect. If you want to put the mirror on top though, I think you’re looking for a resistive touch panel.

    This could actually work, it will build on the thickness and weight of the mirror but you could have a really thin frame instead of a IR-frame around it.

    So it would be layers like :

    Glass
    Touch foil
    Air gap
    Mirror
    Screen

      I’m using an IR frame with standard window glass (1/8") thick.

        @cowboysdude Yes mykle1 is correct. My plan is to turn it into a selfie mirror. i ran across this website that claims their glass works well with touch screens but like most people on their first build i’m trying to keep the cost down. So if i could use the same acrylic as opposed to a $350 glass i want to do it.

              @Hoosierdad I paid about 110.00 for my IR frame…but I"m in the US too. I’m hearing horror stories of people paying HUGE amounts of money for shipping… just be careful whatever you decide :)

                  @MattZw this is exactly what I’d love to build. Would you mind sharing with me how you did it and the costs?

                      @MattZw where did you place the IR frame? Is it on the mirror or the monitor?
