      Well, the mirror has been refreshed with an internal power cable to an electrical outlet behind the mirror. It looks much more professional now. The forum isn’t letting me upload images right now, but I’ll circle back here and post them eventually.

        Now that photos are working again, here are some photos of the refreshed Magic Mirror Mark II. All three screens are active and the look is much cleaner.

            @bhepler That’s Cool

            Where have you bought the mirror and is that glass or acrylic?

              @Stoffbeuteluwe - It’s glass and it came from www.twowaymirrors.com. They have a rep who floats around here every so often. Ah, here they are: @twowaymirrors

              I had a great experience with them and they’ve supplied the glass for four out of my five mirrors. This one was a special case and they boxed it up in a custom crate for me. Excellent stuff.

                    @hayman - Nope. Three pi, one for each monitor. One of them is acting as a gateway onto our secured network. It brokers the VPN connection and then provides DHCP and internet access to the other two. This way, all three Pi are connected to the internet via some VM in… Sydney, I think. It depends on how they have it configured this week.

                    The network is the company product, so the mirror is a constant demonstration. (not that you can tell on the two monitors just playing video, but it’s the thought that counts).

                        @bhepler can you guess what brand and model of glass it is?

                          @Cr4z33 - I can do better than guess. I bought it from www.twowaymirrors.com. They have a rep, @twowaymirrors who is on this forum every so often. They were great and I pretty much only use them at this point.

                          It’s their 50% transmission model, I think. I’d have to check the receipt.
