      Would a 4:3 frame work?

        I should’ve mentioned the TFT is 32" … I knew I forgot something important.
        I will try to contact one of these vendors to see if they can provide something for me.

          @yawns I’d never imagined how “Bigger-Touch-Frame-Than-Screen” works.
          How can it map the touch-coordination into the real-screen-coordination? Very interesting.

            @Sean There should be a calibration tool with all sorts of touch-methods, where you define at least three points on the screen so the drivers can calculate where you actually touch and not only a default setting.

              Interesting thoughts, Sean and broberg. Makes me realize I basically know nothing about how IR touch frames work, how input is provided to the operating system and how coordinates are mapped. Looks like I need to read some more on this aspect before moving forward…

                I picked this up again and checked with “Peau Productions”. This is their positive feedback:

                Hello Stefan,
                Yes this diagram looks like an ideal smartmirror setup. Usually the monitor is only using the upper half of the mirror. We can certainly get you a custom frame to match but I will need to know your exact Length x Width dimms and your diagonal dimm. I will also need to know how many touch points you would like supported “2,6, 12, 32, 50+” touch points. Once I have this info I can get you a mechanical drawing and a quote. Any other questions, please let me know.
                Best regards

                Hopefully I find some spare time during christmas break to find some measurements.

                  When I got my 32" IR Touch frame I asked about calibration and they told me none was needed… that was my experience…

                    that sounds interesting if it is not super expensive i might get this as well as my monitor will be also just a quarter of the mirror

                    Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track
