A smart mirror IoT demo project by Microsoft Edge that displays information on a two-way mirror and recognizes registered users via facial recognition to personalize the experience. It is built as a UWP Hosted Web App running on a Raspberry Pi, using web technologies on the client and Node.js/Mongo on Azure for the backend.
Use cases
- build a smart mirror that recognizes users and personalizes the display
- learn how to build UWP hosted web apps for Windows 10 and Raspberry Pi
- detect faces from a camera and match them to user profiles with Cognitive Services Face API
- weekend IoT project combining a two-way mirror with a Raspberry Pi
- create user profiles on a desktop app that a mirror device can recognize
When to choose
- you want a hands-on IoT weekend project building a face-recognizing smart mirror
- you want a reference example of UWP hosted web apps accessing native device APIs like the webcam
- you are targeting Windows 10 IoT on a Raspberry Pi 2/3 with web technologies
When to avoid
- you need a maintained or supported project - the repository is unmaintained and its backing Azure services have been shut off
- you want a production-ready smart mirror solution rather than a demo
- you cannot use Windows 10 UWP tooling or Microsoft Cognitive Services
