Here is Max Braun’s smart mirror mentioned in the video that inspired me to start this project in the first place.

    You rock ! Thanks a lot for all that details (and for the next ones coming). I assume you put the IR frame above your one way mirror (didn't you ?), but how was the feeling when touching it ? (I mean, wasn't it weird compared to our smarthphones touchscreens ? And last but not least, how expensive was the whole thing ? (especially the IR frame ^^). Thanks again for sharing your time with us Ryan, take care

    You mention that one of the problems with the mirror is certain lighting. Why not ditch the mirror all together and just go with a wall display that holds your calendar and has the built in functionality you have already developed. There are tons of busy families that could benefit from synced calendars that can be hanged on the wall to keep everyone up to speed. Why does it need to be a mirror?

If this was feasible for me in my day to day, I'd love to give it a shot. I think it would help you grow your userbase if when you release stuff like this, you enable the viewer as much as possible.
