Modern 40” Magic Mirror First Try

[REDNAVE]

My first magic mirror, powered by raspberry pi 3. It’s using a 40” TCL TV for the display behind the two way mirror.

Took 17 days from installing Raspbian software to finished and hung. Spent around $750 USD (carpenter friend cost $280, TV $100, frame $200, TV stand $70. Not including spare raspberry pi, camera, and mirror I had lying around collecting dust)

I hope this inspires others as much as I’ve been inspired by some of yours.

I think you did a fantastic job, young man.

That is SUPER NICE!!! WOW great job!!

What is the frame made out of?

[REDNAVE]

@cowboysdude it’s MDF with a metallic veneer

[cowboysdude]

@REDNAVE That is really an amazing effect!! Great job!

That looks really really great!
Does the mirror still has the TV functionality?

@REDNAVE

What type of mirror are you using? It’s not a 50/50 as mines is that and it is not as reflective as your one, so is it a 75/20 Pilkington Mirrorview?

Thanks.
