If we need a better reflection, no colours behind, and no touch screen, Mirastar is the winner. IMPORTANT: The DIY Magic Mirror project requires some Maker/Electronics know how and is not meant for non-technical users. Featuring four characters, each character responds to the sensor inputs with its own personality. So, if we really need touch capacity or colours, MirroView is the best, but a little sacrifice on reflection (not really useful as a real mirror) The Magic Mirror plays animations based on input from various sensors which you choose based on your installation type. Great for white text on black screen, not for colours too. Like ChromeSpy, it needs a higher luminosity in light room. Mirastar has the best reflection, and work really great in dark room. Great for white text on black screen, but not for colours. Much better in dark room, in light room it needs a good luminosity behind. So, should be used for touch capacity and in very light room.ĬhromeSpy has better reflection, but a little “brown”. But reflection is a little poor, and in dark room, event with luminosity at 0 we can see the black screen. MirroView permit to view any colour clearly, and without metallic coat, should be compatible with touch foils. Tried Mirastar, MirroView, and ChromeSpy. I received mirror samples (not the touch foil for the moment). I talk about the standard Mirroview, not the 50/50 that should be really “transparent” on dark room, even with a black background on MVA screen… does anybody have tried to build a magic mirror with Mirroview to tell me if the high transmission (26%) isn’t too high for dark room ? (even with a 3000:1 contrast screen).does anybody have already tried to do a touch mirror with Mirroview and touch foil ?.I thought starting with the Mirropane Chrome Spy, affordable price with delivery to France (from Germany), good reflection, low transmission to get a good result in dark room too (with high contrast MVA monitor).īut Pilkington claims that their Mirroview is made with non-metallic coat, and compatible with touch foil (and, affordable price too) The DIY Magic Mirror is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.I read all I can about touch solutions on this forum, and I see that everybody turn to IR frame because touch foil fails on metallic coat of 2-way mirror.īut I search harder because I really want a result without the 1 cm between my wood frame and the mirror…Īnyway, I change my strategy and search a 2-way mirror without metallic coat.
