      hey everybody,

      after quite some while I finally can hang my mirror 2k Picture Frame 🙂
      I love the whole project and am sure its even better when you don’t use it with the mirror feature 🙂

      What you see here is an iMac 2010/2011 27" Screen with a 2k 2560x1440 resolution. It looks really nice even standing in front of it. I think this screen from Apple is the perfect fit. It’s powered by a Pi 4 2GB and inside the frame there is also an USB IR Touch Frame to control the system.

      I also included a long ribbon camera band to expose behind the frame and print a housing for it. Serves for face recognition and photo booth in the future.

      So much more is planned with this system and I wanted to thank everyone doing the magic software stuff like OS and plugins 🙂

      More pictures to follow if needed

            I bloody love it!! Looks beautiful. A couple of questions;

            • How much trouble did you have disassembling the monitor?
            • Where did you get your frame from?
            • Are you using WiFi or Ethernet for the internet connection?

                  @TazDev …Looks nice so far.
                  Can you provide a front-picture of the assembled Frame?

                  What do you want to do with the move cam, Mic-Array and PI-Cam?

                    sure, here you go, still WIP, I need to fix 2 borders and decide if I want to paint it black.

                    the camera from the playstation move is deactivated, I removed everything and try to use the mic array inside the frame. I want to use it for voice stuff, but honestly the touch frame with MMM-Touch is already awesome to control.

                    the PI Cam should be used for face recognition & photo booth fun with guests.

                    also I try to add PS3 Controllers and use the Screen as a retro game console in the kitchen.
