Touchscreen Smart Mirror

If you want this in your home, you can sign up for the mailing list here: getpanl.com/
This is a real working mirror running a software that I built.
I'll continuously be updating the mirror and if you would like to stay up to date with this project, you can always follow me on Twitter: / ryan_nelwan
or Instagram Stories:
/ pizzzafeet
Also, some are arguing that the mirror is fake and that there's a green screen. I can assure you that it is not and you can view a real close up video here: / 725087455141978112
For all other questions, you can always email me at: [e-mail]

I got to say, this is one of my favourite Smart Mirror on KZbin. He really outdid it with how he wanted the mirror to look like, the control the temperature in his apartment, the way in lowering and increasing the volume appears on the mirror, and especially the detail he put in into the uber suggestion during a scenario of being late while getting ready to go out in front of the mirror. Love it.

The monitor behind a mirror isn't anything new/complicated/amazing, for those of you who think it's a genius idea. What I DO think is very cool and nice though is the software part of this mirror. He has a great looking and very intuitive design. Good job!

[@thesoundyouneed1]

Not a specialist at all, but it'd be great if you succeed to implement a infrared or laser layer (or that type of thing) 1 or 2 mm over the actual glass, so that you can use the mirror without actually touching it and avoid fingerprints. This way, this would be a great bathroom mirror. Ordering a Uber without leaving huge fingerprints and marks while brushing your teeth or getting out of the shower would be amazing ! Also, loving the UI. Keep it up!

[@thesoundyouneed1]

+TheSoundYouNeed could also be a kinect type camera hidden in the frame for easily implemented gestures!

[@Cyclones360]

+TheSoundYouNeed Love your channel :) Keep up the good music.

[@carlandersson1264]

I love how the expression "ordering an Uber" has become almost more standard than "calling a taxi". I guess all those harassment videos gave Uber some deserved exposure. Also, I agree that the mirror getting dirty is a downside, but I have a feeling that a setup where you're not physically touching anything will feel quite awkward. Maybe there's a type of glass or other way to reduce smudges and fingerprints. Really cool work, GangstersGiggle!

[@carlandersson1264]

Having a sensor like you mentioned but implementing the option of toggling it on and off for preference and situation would be a real neat addition though.

+theblur yeah those after effects are dope right. lol its nothing he built its obvious, that its a normal mirror thats why the camera never moves.

[@geekynet]

+DeuceDrop that would Rank1 Troll for sure. fucking hilarious though

[@HypeVectorPrime]

GeekyNet im just saying finding a troll who knows how to do special effects is much more likely than finding a 17 year-ish old kid whos revolutionized mirrors and somehow on his own managed to make a bunch of apps that are identical to already existing ones. also the sound went weird when he turned off the music, im on to him and his shitty sound editing

[@JBaughb]

+DeuceDrop - You think this is somehow a high tech mirror?? Its just a computer screen behind a one-way mirror. Hundreds of people have made the exact same thing. They're all over the internet. This is the first I've seen with a touch interface but thats not difficult. Also, the reason why it look like he's opening up apps that are "identical to existing ones" is because thats all it is. Its an interface that opens up other peoples apps. Its not like he wrote them himself. This is an afternoon worth of coding in a weekend worth of construction. None of it is revolutionary, or new. It just takes someone with some time and interest. The "special effects" trick to fake this would probably be more work than actually building it.

[@HypeVectorPrime]

Ron Berry more work but far less money and time if you know what you are doing, i never said i believed in anything he was doing im sure i was the one calling him out for being fake, its simple after effects work might take a couple of days, and yes he did say he wrote those apps, so thats just more evidence of him being full of it

[@dburgess1998]

[@coolkidsRECYCLE]

+Nate Mann an important issue, you ass

[@Spartansoldier217]

+Nate Mann Nobody's saying that this is a bad idea, chill out. I don't think it's unreasonable to take issue with the idea that an expensive piece of technology will probably be full of smudges and little flecks of toothpaste within 24 hours of using it and thus require constant cleaning (that may require specific supplies due to the fact that it's electronic). Chances are that the creator of this design will address this in the future if he hasn't done so already, but until then I don't see any problem with pointing out potential problems with said design.

[@brace110]

+IAmScooterDude720 My thoughts too

[@connoroflynn1750]

oleophobic costing.

[@iamscooterdude720]

I think the point of the mirror is to be a quick and easy multi-tasker for your morning routine. Wake up, fix hair in mirror while checking weather and putting on music, head out the door etc. Unless you want to use the touchscreen function for an extended period of time, putting on gloves every time you want to adjust the volume or quickly your email/messages seems like a waste of time and money, and at that point you might as well just pull out your phone.

[@ichbinein123]

+Milphide - "Tactile surfaces", do you even know that that word means? A mirror is quite literally the opposite of a "tactile surface". Besides, using gloves kinda defeats the purpose of this mirror. Use a grease resistant surface coating instead.

[@doingtime20]

+IAmScooterDude720 I don't think it's gonna be a problem, my guess is that over the mirror there is an extralayer material that does the touchscreen function so it might not get as dirty as the actual mirror which is underneath.
