24" Frame Mirror

@sharmstr I see everyone using IR Frames. What makes them better than putting a touchfoil on the mirror? does that screw anything?

@maxbachmann I didnt even think about the dust. Hmmmm.
@Bakuretsu Thank you. I’ll post pics of the process. I started messing around with MM last year. At the time the voice stuff ran really slowly so that’s why I wanted the IR frame. Now with the new RPi 3 model B+ that was just released, the voice integration is fairly quick. Having fingerprints on the mirror gets to be annoying so I may remove it all together or at least make sure none of the touch related functions are in the middle of the mirror. Stay tuned :)

I cant answer that. Its just the route I went. Maybe the foil gives the mirror a bit of a fun house effect? I have no idea really.

@sharmstr yes I thought that aswell especially because everyone uses the Frame

Touchfoil doesn’t work beneath the mirrorglass due to the metallic coating.
Even the mirror supplier that was linked earlier says it has to be an overlay (i.e if you use a foil it should be on another layered glass over the mirror itself)
Touchfoils are basically a sheet of transparent plastic with many really really thin wires running across the surface. Gives you around 98-99% transparency.
