      Hey there @tbbear ,
      I am one of the Developers of the VERSE Smartmirror and I feel the need to clarify a few things in this thread.
      First of all - we do not, in any way use the Magic Mirror Software, we don’t use Codeblocks, Modules or even Lines of Code from this Open Source Product. Everything our Prototype executes is written by ourselves, fully developed by my Team and myself.
      We did not come up with the idea of using a semitransparent mirror in front of a display but neither did the creators of the MagicMirror. We as a startup really love the DIY products and the community behind those. We love the idea of building things ourselves but a lot of people never get the chance to do so because one needs technical expertise to use and play with those products. Someday we want to provide a plug and play product that everyone can buy of the shelves without thinking to hard about all the stuff that has to be done to integrate a Smartmirror in their home.
      That’s our dream and we will work hard to make it become reality. In the meantime we are happy that there are lots of builders out there that live the future of the bathroom right now. We love your work.
      Best wishes
      René, CMO of VERSE Smartmirror

          Thanks for posting this here.
          Would you mind giving a little insight in your system? Of course without revealing any company secrets or code.
          Are you also going for a web-framework? Or are you developing a classic application, like the guy at BuildHubTV does? Will it be open to 3rd party apps, even though this always puts a risk of faulty modules or will you close the system?
          Are you using a raspberry or something stronger?

                @yawns Our application is not really browser based but would be easily portable to such a system if we ever feel the need to do so. Right now we are building a platform to support custom widgets by 3rd parties - though we tend to built this platform on the go. For example, to ensure security, usability and consistency we will first open up a the possibilities for purely text based widgets and only allow computing with system ressources. Later on we will make more options available, allow 3rd party API’s, videos, images and different animations. You have to keep in mind that every widget on our system also has to be supported by our mobile app which will allow customizing the widgets form, scale, text-size, color and displayed date via different inputs like sliders, Textfields, login-forms (to connect other services) and much more.
                Right now we are using a raspberry for our prototype but soon wie will probably switch to a more industrial SoC like we see them in phones, tablets and so on.
                Thanks a lot for your interest :)
