In this chapter, we will create a mirror that is capable of being both a reflective surface and an information display that can be used to show customized information.

This will be done by taking advantage of the properties of a two-way mirror (commonly used for shop security), which will allow light to pass through it as if it was a glass when the other side is darker and behave like a regular mirror otherwise.

This project is based on the Magic Mirror project by Michael Teeuw. More information about his original version can be found at http://michaelteeuw.nl/tagged/magicmirror.
