This Magic Mirror project has simplified my life whilst remaining hidden behind an inconspicuously simple mirror. In the morning the integrated motion sensor automatically turns on the information display and instantly shows me my calendar, local weather, news, and charge level of the family car.

Made from low cost builders yard pine wood and super strong Perspex Acrylic sheet (from Trent Plastic here in the UK), the mirror is easy to build. The monitor was bought from Gumtree and can be as little or as large as you like. The full length integrated touch lights also ensures the mirror is great for checking your outfit in before heading out for the day / night.
