      @ranger33 so you built a magic mirror with touch capability did your Fram go around the glass it self or behind the glass behind the monitor?

        @Hoosierdad Yes i built a magic mirror with touch capability, I’d be happy to send you pictures! I built my frame over top of the monitor and the glass so the only thing seen was the screen. It went over top the glass.

                  So did anyone figure out how they use a two-way mirror as a touch screen?

                    @janthonyds IR frame is the easiest solution.

                        @janthonyds the ir frame goes above the mirror-glass (i.e the ir diodes are mounted in the frame around the mirror).
                        Google IR-frame, or IR touch and similar and you will get lot’s of results and information.

                          IR-frame

                          They have two kinds according to my research, the Infrared Touch Frame Overlays and Integration Kits, The latter does not have glass. Is this the one I install over the top of my two-way mirror? I appreciate your help by the way

                              @janthonyds so the first time I did it I got the full thing glass and all. The glass was really just held in by glue so using a screwdriver I pried the glass out. Then I measured exactly in mm the glass. I ordered two way glass amd it fit snugly inside! Hope that helped I can send some pics of it!

                                Sorry people, I got another question, I read a lot of your replies and I’ve noticed that you mention “glass” two-way mirror as far as replacing the glass in the overlay frame . My question is can you use acrylic instead or does it have to be glass? Another thing, they sell the IR frame without glass, is this a good idea? Thanks people

                                  Hi,
                                  I am just inte the planning stage of a smart mirror.
                                  Wish to use a Asus VT207N 19.5 as screen.

                                  Do anyone know if the touch will work through the mirror film or a acrylic mirror?

                                  Have anyone done this before?

                                  Please advise,
                                  Carl

                                    @janthonyds hey sorry i missed this! I see no reason why acryllic wouldn’t work as long as its thin enough to sit beneath the ir overlay!

                                      @micklen the mirror absolutely won’t work over if you have acryllic. It may work with some foil as long as you apply it super tightly! Hope this helps please post final result pictures!

                                        I too am very interested in building my own mirror photobooth as the prices of ready made ones are crazy high… and the shipping cost to my country is ridiculous…:flag_my: however after tons of research i think the biggest problem now is are we able to calibrate/ adjust the borders of the IR overlay on the mirror? one of the features of the mirror photobooth is that users can “sign” their name/ message (hence the use of touchscreen on a two way mirror); but the TV screen behind the mirror is smaller than the mirror itself (43" TV under a 70" mirror), so are there any way to reduce/ calibrate the IR overlay to precisely detect the TV screen?

                                            @ranger33 I’d like to see pictures of your work please. I just ordered a 60 inch IR frame without glass and waiting for that to come in so that I can order two way glass. Can you tell me where you ordered from? And did the touchscreen work once you put the two way glass inside of the IR frame? Did you need to calibrate? I am making a selfie mirror photobooth so any input would be helpful. Thanks
