<![CDATA[How do I make my 27" monitor (smartmirror) touchscreen *using raspberry Pi*]]>Just wondering how to make my smart mirror project touchscreen. Ive looked at touchscreen overlays but they are expensive and dont even say whether they are compatible with raspberry pi. If someone could point me in the right direction that’d be good

The frame should just be recognized and used as any other input (like mouse or keyboard), no coding should be necessary.

Most of the IR-frames for sale out there works on Linux, so in theory almost all IR-frames will work with the Raspberry Pi

@johnnyboy pointed however out that you probably only get single-touch on linux, atleast I think it was Johnny

Probably an IR-Frame since projected capacitive touch foils usually don’t work through the mirror coating.

I suppose that the one way mirror film applied to a normal piece of glass could work with the touch foils since it’s less likely that the mirror film has a metallic coating that would interfere with the touch foil. But it’s just a guess, Haven’t tried it myself.
