Wizard Mirror is an open-source Electronjs app, that can give a regular mirror mysterious powers with the help of a Raspberry Pi!
To install WizardMirror: run this on your Raspberry PI's terminal
bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sanjit1/WizardMirror/master/scripts/install.sh)"
To start your WizardMirror, run npm start from the WizardMirror directory. Your WizardMirror can run apps under it, for example, a time app or a weather app. App settings can be set in apps.json (which is duplicated from appsSample.json by the installation script).
Here are some preinstalled applications:

Once you have finished installing WizardMirror and configured all the software, you can move on to the hardware: the actual mirror design. You will need
- LCD screen
- 2-way mirror glass/film
- Wooden frame to frame the mirror.
- Cables to get your Raspberry Pi running and connect it to the Screen
- Other tools
What you will need to do: Open up your LCD Monitor, attach the mirror film on top of it, frame it, attach the Raspberry pi and attach it to the wall. School's starting, so I can't do much right now, but as soon as winter break starts I'll try to make a build video.
