DIY Magic Mirror

I came across this project from a man who wanted to create a magic mirror as found in Disney World for his daughters. He uses a interesting mixture of sensors in this project. I am particularly interested in the touch sensors he is using behind the wall.

After multiple trips to Disneyland, I got the idea to do a Snow White type magic mirror for my two girls. I found a product after some googling but it was quite expensive so I decided to build my own. While at it, I figured I better add a Halloween Mode and Pirate mode.


The light sensors is something we have used ourselves before in one of our projects from last year so that is not something new really.



Reflection

As mentioned before I was very interested in the type of sensors used in the project especially the ones behind the wall. I could think of some interesting things to use here such as a light switch without a switch.
