ABSTRACT
It is a self-evident fact that modern technology is transforming everything around us. With the advent of IoT era, this transformation is even more remarkable. From our phones to even our shoes, everything is becoming smarter. Even the most ubiquitous thing, like a mirror, is no exception. Through this paper we have explained how even a simple looking mirror can interact with us, providing us with much useful information and giving us the ease of controlling each and everything around us, just by using voice commands. This paper depicts the workflow and development of WitMirror. As the name suggests, this device has the ability to interact with the user through voice commands giving the output accordingly. It can display various useful information like current weather, date & time, news headlines, map of the desired location and all the upcoming events. For extracting these piece of information, the device will use various third-party APIs through the Internet. It is the next step in the field of home automation, where the mirror acts as a central hub, which can control all the home devices dwelling in the smart futuristic home. For parents, it also has a unique application where they can monitor the current location of their children through a simple android app installed on their phone. So in case of any miss happening, the parents will know the location of their children beforehand. The user face will be detected using image processing. Raspberry Pi 3 will work as the brain of the device. It is also equipped with a microphone, camera speaker and a display for various input/output purpose. For controlling Home Appliances relay mechanism is used. With all these advanced features, the device will also act as the simple mirror for astounding experience to the user.
