The Smart Mirror is an innovative project that combines a regular mirror with IoT technology to display useful information such as time, date, weather updates, and latest news headlines directly on the mirror’s surface. Using a Raspberry Pi/Arduino with IoT integration, the system fetches real-time data from the internet and projects it through an LED/LCD display placed behind a two-way mirror.

This smart device works both as a mirror and information dashboard, making it ideal for homes, offices, hotels, and modern workspaces. It demonstrates the growing applications of IoT and smart devices in daily life.

Parts Used:

1. Two-Way Mirror – Reflects like a normal mirror but allows display to be visible.
2. LED/LCD Monitor/Display – To show time, weather, and news.
3. Raspberry Pi / Arduino with Wi-Fi Module (ESP32/ESP8266) – Main controller for fetching data.
4. Internet Connectivity (Wi-Fi Dongle/Module) – To access weather and news APIs.
5. Power Supply (5V/12V Adaptor) – For controller and display.
6. Frame/Enclosure – To house mirror and electronic components.
7. Optional Sensors – Motion sensor (to activate display only when someone is nearby), temperature sensor.
