      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. It s easy to put in place but I could not use a real two way mirror and it could not be multitouch. In the end the touch experience will be less smooth than a capacitive touch panel. So I will
      Need mirror two way film, réactive touch panel and the monitor…

      Capacitive touch: it is not working with a real twi way mirror because of the metal. Then I will need to use in the order a two way mirror film + a glass and the monitor. Maybe some two way mirrors are existing without metal… finally the capacitive touch is much more reactive and smooth and can be multitouch.

        hi
        there seems to be a company that produces two way mirrors that work with multi touch touch overlays

        although I have not tested them

        But I guess IR Touch frames are the cheapest option
