A bit more details are needful to realize what kind of mirror with what kind of module or possibilities this mirror must be developed.
What dimensions?
-
Apologies for the lack of info.dimensions are about 1.65m (H) 1.01m (W) 0.65m (D) but that would be the whole unit including the flight case

i know that it uses a 43" tv
and i believe the glass panel itself is about 60" or 70"does this help?
-
Wow, that’s a monster. Very massive in the depth.
There is nothing similar to a real mirror. It’s more a cabinet with a mounted mirror.
Sorry, my opinion.
-
lol thanks

@lolobyte Well, if it’s gonna be for rental it needs to be built like a friggin rock and especially needs a solid base.
And if it’s gonna be mirror all the way down to the floor I would make it at least 1.8m high.
BUT the biggest concern I would have is making the software stable and easy enough to use by drunk people.
-
Broberg, it is for rental. the outer case is flight case so that makes it pretty solid and stable.
software i assume can be bought on licence
i dont fancy spending 6k+ when i know it could be built within a fraction of the cost.

Okey, lets look at the costs,
mirror glass 1.6x1m will cost ju about 180-300 euro depending on what type you choose.
55" OLED TV (55" would fill most of the size and OLED will work better for a smartMirror due to the contrast and pure black). 1700-2000 euro
the software (from mirror me booth) is 3100 euro
then we have the computer, probably to much for a raspberry, so you need a intel/amd machine
for about say 200-300eur as a minimum.
Then some other hardware as camera, probably 50eur
If you want it to be touch the cheapest way is IR-frame on around the mirror around 300eur,
running touch foil will set you back around 400eur180+1700+3100+200+50+300 = 5530 Eur and that’s only the most essential parts,
Don’t get me wrong, I would also build my own, just saying that in the end it rarely get cheaper financially by doing it yourself.
-
I see what your saying. Most firms don’t used a OLED to instead they use a 43" LCD TVs.
Anyone know any companies in Europe that develope the magic mirror.
Thanks

I have much more cheaper software than this. For only USD100. :)
Let me know if you guys succesfully created your own Magic Mirror.
