Project Title : Smart Mirror with Facial Recognition

Objective:
To design a smart mirror system enhanced with facial recognition and IoT connectivity that displays personalized information like weather, time, calendar, and news based on the user’s identity.

What It Does:

Facial Recognition: Identifies the user standing in front of the mirror using a built-in camera.

Personalized Dashboard: Displays customized content (weather, reminders, news, etc.) for each recognized user.

Voice Commands (Optional): Allows interaction via voice assistants like Google Assistant or Alexa.

IoT Integration: Fetches real-time data (e.g., weather, calendar events) from online services.

Touch-Free Interface: Hands-free interaction using facial detection or voice input.

Key Components:

Display:

A two-way mirror with an LCD/LED screen behind it to display the interface.

Camera:

Webcam or Raspberry Pi Camera Module for facial recognition.

Processing Unit:

Raspberry Pi or mini PC to run the recognition software and control display content.

Facial Recognition Software:

Built using OpenCV, dlib, or face_recognition Python library.

IoT Features:

Connects to cloud services to fetch:

Weather updates

Calendar reminders

News headlines

Smart home data (e.g., lights, temperature)

Connectivity:

Uses Wi-Fi to connect to the internet and sync data from APIs or cloud platforms.

Technologies Used:

Languages: Python (for facial recognition and system control), HTML/CSS/JS (for display UI)

Libraries: OpenCV, face_recognition, Flask (for web dashboard)

Hardware: Raspberry Pi, Pi Camera, two-way mirror, monitor

Cloud APIs: OpenWeather, Google Calendar, News API

Voice Assistant (optional): Google Assistant SDK or Alexa API

Benefits:

Personalized user experience for multiple users

Integrates daily essentials into a single smart interface

Hands-free, hygienic interaction

Can be extended with home automation control (lights, thermostat, etc.)

 Applications:

Smart homes and apartments

Bedrooms, bathrooms, entryways

Can be expanded for hotels, gyms, or retail spaces for interactive customer experiences
