      Hi

      I have seen a lot of posts around making a mirror touch.

      1: over the mirror

      Infrared touch it frame: it implies to add over the mirror 4 infrared parts around the mirror. It can be multitouch and easy to put in place. The mirror glass will replace the glass provided with

      2: Between the mirror and the screen

      Reactive touch panel: the reactive touch panel will need to be over the monitor and I will need to add a two way mirror film.

        hi
        there seems to be a company that produces two way mirrors that work with multi touch touch overlays
        https://www.twowaymirrors.com/smart-mirror/
        although I have not tested them

        But I guess IR Touch frames are the cheapest option
