Smearor

Smearor - A modular, flexible and resource friendly software for smart mirrors with touch functionality

Goals

  • Resource friendly (low memory footprint) by using rust and tauri
  • Modular - Add new functionality with addons
  • Touch-enabled - You can navigate with touch gestures

Requirements

The project focus is on touch enabled mirrors.

Hardware Requirements

Software Requirements

  • Linux / Raspberry Pi OS
  • Wayland
  • Gnome
  • This software: Smearor

Hardware

Step 1: Touchscreen

You need a special touch screen with the following feature: Touch through-glass. The touch screen works right through glass and can turn glass surfaces into an interactive touch screen display.

Step 2: Raspberry Pi 5

The Raspberry Pi 5 is mini computer with low energy consumption. With two HDMI ports it can control the touch screen. With the GPIO ports it's possible to add sensors like temperature and humidity. The Raspberry Pi 5 is powerful enough to run KODI.

:mirror: Step 3: Spy Mirror

You need a special type of mirror with the following features:
1. Two-way mirror
2. Dielectric
