      Hey,

      I’m pretty new here but I’ve been building my own smart mirror for awhile now!

      I thought of making my mirror touchscreen but have no idea where to start for that. Has anyone done a build making the mirror touch screen capable?

          @cowboysdude does your’s Still reflect like a mirror? It’s main purpose will be a mirror rather than a central hub. By the way, holy fucking shit! Good work man. That’s so impressive!

            Search for touch in the forum, it has been covered many times.

            But the basic is that you need an ir-frame to get touch functionality.

              @broberg thank you! I suppose I’ll do more research on if an IR frame works behind or on top of a two way mirror!

                basically it’s registers the location of an object (i.e your finger) when an infrared light beam is disrupted.
                So the ir frame goes on the outside of the mirror.

                  I have MM installed on an 8" tablet (Windows 8.1) and the touch works great! 😄

                      I have officially decided that making it touchscreen will be saved for my second iteration of it. The first one I am building is being used specifically for a mirror anyways for my girlfriend while she does make up

                        No but I didn’t want it to…you can add mirror film to it I suppose.
