mirror on

„Mirror on“ is the prototype for an interactive mirror created in an interface design seminar. We were tasked with coming up with a prototype for a possible implementation of internet of things in our daily life. The prototype had to show the context it would be used in and outline how the interaction would work.

The prototype enables an easy use of the mirror by integrating the on/off switch to a footboard and by letting the light intensity be regulated with sensors on the Mirror. The Idea behind the Project is to connect the digital world to the daily routine. Currently the interaction of Mirror on is based on reacting lights, but in further development of the prototype, the user should be able to connect to smartphone apps and navigating with the footboard. An example would be making it possible to check the weather or playing music.
