Abstract
A smart mirror is a device that is an extended and enhanced version of a conventional mirror. It is a two-way mirror with an inbuilt display behind the glass. It allows the user to access and interact with various features that can be found in smart devices, like smart phones and tablets, etc. A smart mirror can display images, videos, current time, weather forecast, news feed, upcoming appointments, and all kinds of data supported by a smart device. The existing smart mirror frameworks were developed just to show time, date, and weather. After some updates, it contained schedules, alerts, and notices, and later, it got updated with music player and voice acknowledgment. The smart mirror will be redefined by remembering each and every aspect and disadvantages of the existing systems. The smart mirror offers unique features to improve the user experience and system security through biometric authentication, multimedia capabilities, and customized user profiles. This device can replace a wide range of household utilities like clocks, calendars, and external virtual assistants like Amazon Echo, Google Home, etc. The mirror will provide personalized healthcare services for each of its users. This includes analyzing varying health patterns of the user, like sleep patterns and body parameters and providing suggestions to improve their lifestyle. It also displays the medicine timetables of each user. Thus, it will be beneficial for elderly people and anybody with a busy routine.
