My Custom Mirror

Hey Guys,

First time poster, long time lurker.

Earlier this year I embarked on the journey of creating a mirror. I had some adventures along the way. I documented it all in 3 blog posts:

So check those out if you want the details but heres a video if you havent got time for all of that:

I just want to say a massive thanks to the others posting on this forum, you have been a big help and inspiration when making mine :)

That’s a very nice build. For the camera you should check out the PS3 camera. It also comes with microphones is dirt cheap. I bought one for 4€ (incl. shipping) on ebay. Don’t have it yet, though. I can imagine that it will look much neater on your mirror and the microphones (afaik 4 of them) are supposed to be of good quality.

Thank you for posting your build experiences, especially the provided documentation. I’ve learned that when someone states “enumerating my requirements”, it speaks to thoroughness and quality. Great job!
