One of the most inspirational Raspberry Pi projects I’ve seen since the dawn of the tiny computer is the magic mirror project. The magic mirror uses a pi running a web server instance and a natty little webpage to display time, date, weather and an inspirational quote.
All this runs behind a sheet of two way mirror ‘glass’, you have to admit the end product is pretty cool! I’d be digging out my wood work tools if a) I had any, and b) was any good at practical/diy work…
Dylan Pierce has written a brilliant in depth tutorial on how to create this magic mirror which you can find here.
