Abstract

Since it was first presented a few years ago, smart mirror had gained popularity as an indoor convenience. When the idea of smart homes started to be raised by different parties in earlier years, a variety of smart devices were released and distributed all over the world. The introduction of smart devices into several outdoor industries shows that their application is not limited to the indoors. Therefore, this project focuses on solving problems outside the home, i.e. in the clothing sales industry. A common problem is the inconsistent and inaccurate price tag of clothing. Smart Mirror is an innovative device that combines information technology with traditional mirrors, giving users access to important information in an interactive way. The project was developed using the Raspberry Pi 4 as the main controller and MagicMirror2 software as an interface platform. This Smart Mirror displays information such as weather, news, and notifications on a digital display hidden behind a mirrored glass. The project also involves an RFID scanner for displaying clothing information with RFID tags, as well as voice control via a microphone for easy user interaction. The project managed to produce a well-functioning Smart Mirror. Users can access information through a digital display, view clothing information with RFID tags, and interact with the system via voice. Future enhancements to the project are possible, including the integration of artificial intelligence and new functional modules. This Smart Mirror can significantly improve daily life and information monitoring with the use of technology and creativity.
