Almost a mirror attached under Android. This is the idea that has recently sprouted in the mind of a developer named Max Braun, and we have to admit he threw it away. The object in question is actually a One way mirror with LED display 15 inch connected to dongle Amazon Fire TV stick.
An APK file takes care of ensuring that the interface and the content of the screen display various information. Technically, it’s not as complicated as you might think, and the result is stunning. The news feed is provided by the Associated Press API and the weather information is provided by Forecast’s. As for traffic information and reminders, they are based on Google Assistant cards. The interface is updated automatically and voice search is also included.
For now, it’s just a prototype and its designer admits that he tried the experiment with several devices in between. Chromecast, Nexus Player and more recently the Amazon Fire TV stick. A project that lacks ambition or imagination that would fit perfectly with any connected product presented at CES each year, each more extraordinary than the next.
Two years ago, Ideum and 3M designed an Android tripod that was available for almost $7,000 in a 32-inch version. Today a developer presents us a concept of a homemade smart mirror based on Google’s operating system. When you think about it, it’s a device that isn’t that expensive to make. Is this the type of object you want in your home?
