1. INTRODUCTION
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an arrangement of interrelated, web associated objects that
can gather and move information over a remote organization with no human intercession.
IOT's major huge pattern lately is the rapid development of gadgets associated by the web.
The IOT sets out more open doors for more straightforward joining of the actual world
into PC based frameworks bringing about effectiveness enhancements, financial
advantages and diminished human efforts. In the customer market, IoT innovation is
generally inseparable from items relating to the idea of the "smart home", including
gadgets and apparatuses (like lighting installations, indoor regulators, home security
frameworks and cameras, and other appliances) that help one or more normal biological
systems, and can be controlled through gadgets related with that environment, for
example, smart-phones and shrewd speakers. IoT can likewise be utilized in medical care
frameworks. The Internet of Things (IoT) is characterized as a worldwide framework for
the data society, empowering progressed benefits by interconnecting (virtual and physical)
things dependent on existing and developing (new) interoperable data and correspondence
advancements. The Internet of Things with its huge development has changed the
environment of people by converting home to smart homes. A smart home is associated
with the smart devices where the communication happens with devices through internet.
Our way of life has advanced such that streamlining time is the main thing. The use of
Smart devices is increasing day by day because of the vast improvement in the technology.
Every single day we tend to look at the mirror to check our attire and appearance. By this
we are psychologically interacting with the mirror. So, the idea of a mirror which can
respond to any of your commands can excite anyone. Normal mirror is improved into
insolent mirror and used as an information system to collect data. Multiple tasks can be
carried out on single user interface. The smart mirror device is suitable to check regular
activities, important meetings, worksheet by PC, tab, cellphone and other devices in few
seconds. The Smart mirror is an IoT based intelligent system that can be used for the
facilitation and enhancement of the user's awareness towards various functions. By using
this smart mirror the standard of living and the quality is changing drastically with the
help of interactive computing systems and the embedded systems. A Smart mirror can be
used as a normal commodity which ca can change the perspective of a person towards the
mirror.

6. PROPOSED SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE:

The system architecture of an Interactive modular-based Smart mirror is shown in Fig
- 1. The 2-way mirror is the main object placed at the of front the whole setup. The
mirror can be operated by touch feature using IR (Infrared) frame. The IR frame
basically has light sources, or light emitting diodes (LEDs) on one side and light
detectors on the opposite side, creating an optical grid across the screen. When an
object touches the screen, the invisible light beam is interrupted, causing a drop in the
signal received by the photo sensors. Then an LED display that shows the information
to a user is placed just behind the mirror. The other physical devices are the Power
supply, and cable to supply power to the whole setup from Raspberry pi 4 Model B
and SD card. The whole code is dumped onto an SD card and inserted into
Raspberry pi . The whole data is taken down by raspberry pi using an internet
connection i.e., connected using either Ethernet (LAN) or wireless (Wi-Fi)
connectivity.

16. WORKING MODULES:

The Interactive Smart Mirror consists of 4 modules that will perform over the normal
Two-way mirror i.e., Date and Time (Module 1), Weather (Module 2), Calendar (Module 3)
and Reminder (Module 4).
Module 1: Whenever the mirror is turned on using a power supply the Raspberry pi takes it
to the Raspbian environment. In the Raspberry pi terminal when the command “cd Magic
Mirror” will run, the Raspberry Pi will be working under the Magic Mirror software. Magic
Mirror is an open-source modular smart mirror platform. With a growing list of Magic
Mirror modules, the Magic Mirror allows you to convert your mirror into your personal
assistant. After typing the command “npm start”, the Magic mirror will be turned ON and
the mirror will display the basic information i.e., date and time which is our module 1.

Fig 13
Module 2:
We need to set up the Google assistant for our system. We will install our Google Assistant
module by entering the “npm install” command in the terminal. After the installation using
our raspberry pi browser, we will log in to the google account. The system also displays
current weather along with the temperature that is felt by the human body of the city which
is mentioned. User must register on the open weather website and provide the API
(Application Programming Interface) key as well as the location ID to display the weather
conditions based on the particular city.

Module 3:
This module displays all the upcoming Indian Holidays. This information is fetched from
google whose location is given as a link in the code. Once this module gets activated, the link
will be accessed and fetches the information accordingly. The position to be displayed is also
accessed by the code which is to the left of the mirror. Once the module is executed the output
of upcoming Indian Holidays will be displayed on the mirror to the Left side.

Fig 15

Module 4:
This module describes the main advantage of the mirror. User may set up his daily scheduled
meetings using the Google Calendar enabled on the dashboard of Magic Mirror. This will
keep the user updated about his/her activities.

The mirror also has an additional feature which makes it more attractive by displaying a
compliment whenever the mirror is turned on. It is basically a pre-written compliment as a
print statement, when the mirror is accessed, these messages will be displayed on the
middle position of the mirror and these compliment messages are changed on a timely basis
according to the input print statements in the code.

18. FUTURE WORK:

By utilizing sensor, we can reduce the power consumption since the mirror will display
information only in the presence of a human. The future prototype is ripe with
potential and probably robust in terms of functionality. The scope of this study is to
develop an efficient and cost-effective solution for the development of a Smart Mirror
to reduce and possibly eliminate the need for the user to make time in their daily
morning or nightly routine to check their PC, tablet, or smartphone for the information
they need. The mirror will provide the information with little to no effort from the user
with the goal of not being a burden that he or she must maintain. The mirror wouldn’t
be another activity, rather an enhancement to the already common use of mirrors in
most modern bathrooms. The mirror will do the thinking for the user. First, it will
turn on and off by itself. Then, it will update with the user’s calendar schedule, to-do
lists, Twitter, news, and weather. The information wouldn’t be thrown in the user’s
face, but unobtrusively displayed on the edges of the mirror to still allow use of the
actual mirror. The mirror provides common information most people check their
smartphones or tablets for, such as weather, news, Twitter and schedules. This allows
the users to read, think, and plan their day while getting ready in the morning or night.

keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing,
and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything
you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to
making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games.
Features:
• It is a 1.2 GHz 64-bit quad core ARM Cortex-A53 processor,
on-board 802.
• 11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB boot capabilities.
• a faster 1.4 GHz processor,
• a three-times faster Gigabit Ethernet
• 2.4 / 5 GHz dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi (100 Mbit/s).
• Other features are Power over Ethernet (PoE),
• USB boot and network boot

Monitor/LCD Screen:
A Raspberry Pi display is a screen that can be connected to the Raspberry Pi board to display the output
from the device. The Raspberry Pi Touch Display is an LCD display which connects to the Raspberry Pi
through the DSI connector. In some situations, it allows for the use of both the HDMI and LCD
displays at the same time (this requires software support).

Two Way Mirror:

A piece of glass that is a mirror on one side but that can be seen through like a window from the other
side.

HDMI Cable:
HDMI means High-Definition Multimedia Interface, a standard for simultaneously transmitting digital
video and audio from a source, such as a computer or TV cable box, to a computer monitor, TV or
projector. The HDMI technology is used with devices such as an HDTV, Projector, DVD player, or Blu-
ray
