Show HN: I built a mirror that you can touch

I have a feeling that I'll be cleaning fingerprints off this quite often.

"It's magic"... and very appealing visually too, awesome!!

Curious, is this projected with motion detection positioning, a two-way mirror film over a existing touch screen, or something else?

Thanks for the kind words!

It's two-way with touch sensors. The next iteration that I'm currently working on will be frameless :)

Really is interesting how the mirror makes such a big difference to me; seen window based touch screens, and to me, this seems more appealing.

It'd be interesting to do test using ADs that know where the user's face is... :-)

This is a project that I would love to attempt to replicate! Awesome work.

I'm crossing my fingers and hope that you'll decide to post more about the mechanics and code in the future.

Thanks Mtinie!

I will definitely post more. I've got a list of features I'd like to get in and when those features are implemented, I'll definitely make more videos. If you're interested in finding out more, you can always follow my Medium page or Twitter where I'll start posting regularly.

Woah dude! Super cool! Love the Tron-like UI!

OMG - Get this on kickstarter NOW!!! I would LOVE to have this in my bedroom and start my day with this.

Totally agree!

Hi Johnmurch,

The response I've been getting is great. So much that I'm now contemplating on creating a kickstarter campaign. This will be the first of many updates to come so please stay tuned :).

Congrats! - Looking forward to ordering one soon :)

Wow... this is truly spectacular work.

Great job - very well presented
