    • RE: MagicMirror With Face Recognition

      @Snille @OliWer Here is the hardware for the project:

      • Raspberry Pi 4
      • Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 (used for face recognition)
      • GroveGesture Sensor (Used for swipe commands)
      • I think the mirror was originally from IKEA. I swapped out the mirror with a piece of MirrorView glass

    • RE: MagicMirror With Face Recognition

      @sdetweil Not currently. Right now it is just used to turn the screen on when it detects a recognized user and then turn the screen off when no recognized users are present. It can definitely be used to display different modules per user but I’ve not had the time to put additional modules in place.

    • MagicMirror With Face Recognition

      This is my first Magic Mirror project. Here’s a video of how it looks when it’s running:
      https://youtube.com/shorts/tneDVz6mku8

      It utilizes the following existing modules with slight modifications and styling

      Clock
      Used as is with some CSS styling

      Weather
      Adjusted the layout and styling of the module and added the hourly forecast section

      Calendar
      Adjusted the layout and styling of the module to highlight the first item in the calendar.

      MMM-Videoplayer
      Used this module to display a new ASL video each day from a library of videos stored locally. The playing of the video is controlled through the gesture sensor.

      MMM-GroveGestures
      Uses the GroveGesture Sensor(PAJ7620u2) to register a swipe which activates the ASL sign of the day module. Currently this is the only swipe gesture being used.

      MMM-Face-Recognition-SMAI
      Uses a Camera Module 3 and Open CV to recognize faces and then sends an HDMI CEC command to turn the screen on or off.

      The face recognition was one of the most difficult parts because, while the module is fairly simply, it assumes that you’ve installed OpenCV and trained a face recognition model which took me a bit of research and few tries to figure out and get right. Overall I’m pretty happy with the outcome.
