      @chrissttian Hi.

      Touch screen kit: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/21-5Inch-Resistive-Touch-Screen-Panel-490x285mm-4Wire-USB-kit-for-21-5-monitor/32429848194.html

      Mirror film: https://www.amazon.com/One-Mirror-Silver-Silver-CHROME-Film/dp/B00NBXFA7G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1469284739&sr=8-3&keywords=2+way+mirror+film
      (not exactly what I bought but something similar. This should work though I think).

            @EoF thank you again man!

            I will order soon.
            Did you applied the film directly on tv? How you manage to have a perfect fit and a perfect reflection?

            Thank you!

              @chrissttian The film is applied on the touch screen panel kit, not on the monitor itself. The touch works behind the mirror film since it is a resistive touch screen and works via pressure.

              I used a credit card to squeegee the film on the panel, but I highly highly recommend using an actual “smoothie squeegee” as seen in the below video at 5:12. The credit card works okay, but it is way more prone to scratching the film (which my mirror actually does have some small scratches on it because of this).

              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B22QdNHtb_8

              I generally just followed this video for applying the film. Just instead of a window, you’re applying it to the touch screen panel.

                @EoF thanks for sharing your progress so far - looks great. What’s the best way that you’ve found to implement touch on the software side of things? Do you just have some javascript touch events setup in main.js that just search the DOM tree at that spot and forward a notification to the appropriate module?

                  @konnorbeard They are simply click events. A touch is nothing more than a click. The mouse is just hidden, so you can’t see it.

                  oh and, thank you!

                    is the kit multitouch?

                      @sorpionking674 He said it was a resistive touch panel, so I suspect not.
