    Hi,
    I am just inte the planning stage of a smart mirror.
    Wish to use a Asus VT207N 19.5 as screen.

    Do anyone know if the touch will work through the mirror film or a acrylic mirror?

    Have anyone done this before?

    Please advise,
    Carl

      @janthonyds hey sorry i missed this! I see no reason why acryllic wouldn’t work as long as its thin enough to sit beneath the ir overlay!

        @micklen the mirror absolutely won’t work over if you have acryllic. It may work with some foil as long as you apply it super tightly! Hope this helps please post final result pictures!

          I too am very interested in building my own mirror photobooth as the prices of ready made ones are crazy high… and the shipping cost to my country is ridiculous…:flag_my: however after tons of research i think the biggest problem now is are we able to calibrate/ adjust the borders of the IR overlay on the mirror? one of the features of the mirror photobooth is that users can “sign” their name/ message (hence the use of touchscreen on a two way mirror); but the TV screen behind the mirror is smaller than the mirror itself (43" TV under a 70" mirror), so are there any way to reduce/ calibrate the IR overlay to precisely detect the TV screen?

              @ranger33 I’d like to see pictures of your work please. I just ordered a 60 inch IR frame without glass and waiting for that to come in so that I can order two way glass. Can you tell me where you ordered from? And did the touchscreen work once you put the two way glass inside of the IR frame? Did you need to calibrate? I am making a selfie mirror photobooth so any input would be helpful. Thanks
