Thanks to the combination of a two-way mirror, an Amazon Fire TV Stick and a display board, Max gets the weather, news headlines and other key facts while he’s busy brushing his teeth. All it’s doing is calling on data that would normally go into a Google Now card.
This is just a prototype at the moment, and the engineer hasn’t been too specific about how it works. However, he’s teasing the possibility of a more detailed making-of post, and notes that the mirror only needs a “few hundred lines” of code to work as it does. There’s a chance that you’ll get enough info to build your own smart mirror well before you can find one sitting in your local home supply store.
