The digital natives have an ever-increasing need for information that needs to be satisfied. This is where the "intelligent mirror with display" comes into play, which serves as an information system.
It collects the different information from different sources and displays it automatically collected on a user interface. This unique functionality makes current sources of information such as wall clocks or desk calendars obsolete.
The "Intelligent Mirror with Display" essentially consists of 3 components.
The most important part is the visualization, where the various data and information are prepared for the end user. This includes the time, the current weather, the room temperature, the humidity and many more. The weather data, for example, is retrieved and displayed by an API depending on the location entered.
The collected information is displayed on the mirror surface. To ensure that the location of the "Intelligent Mirror with Display" is not limited by the connections available in the vicinity, all data transfer is wireless. The only necessary cable connection is a power cable.
Since the system is a permanently in use display, the power consumption must be kept as low as possible. This is achieved with the help of the built-in sensor technology, which measures the brightness in the room and serves as a presence detector. The display is only activated when the room has a certain brightness level and movements of persons are detected.

Lukas Jordan: My task is to program the software of the smart mirror aswell as create a stable frame to embed the display for the mirror and various other parts such as the raspberryPi.
Dominik Hobel: My main task is to reduce the power consumption of the Smart mirror to a minimum using sensor technology.Furthermore, in my task included is the programming of the software aswell as the design of our webpage.
