#THIS ECHO IN THE MIRROR IT FOLLOWS ME INSIDE SOFTWARE#
So I tweaked his design, wrote my own software for it, and thought it would be the perfect Christmas present for my girlfriend. When I saw another guy post a magic mirror idea I was trying to follow through with it, but a lot of parts were Europe-only. So I learned the basics of woodworking from just helping her out. My girlfriend has been doing woodworking for a couple years now. I talked to Pierce about his DIY tech, what he feels about his idea taking off on the internet, and how technology like this can eventually become normal in our everyday lives. It’s a basic version of the kind of sophisticated on screen displays you’ve seen for decades in sci-fi movies like Minority Report and Total Recall, except he made it easy to build. The mirror also - ta daaaaa! - shows you your reflection. Within days, and aided by a step-by-step blog post that made the rounds on all the right places on the internet, the smart mirror that he created after seeing a similar design on another blog has become the most buzzed about DIY project in a while.īy gutting a monitor that runs on a simple computer and placing it behind a thin two-way mirror that he fitted into a wood frame, Pierce created a widget-based smart mirror that can do such handy tricks as tell you the weather or list the latest top news stories, depending on how it’s programmed - the limits are really whatever you want to do with it. Dylan Pierce, a web designer in Philadelphia, thought he’d use some computer science and elbow grease to build a simple Christmas present for his girlfriend.
