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
