ABSTRACT: In mirror we see our reactions but what happens when you combine the importance of mirror
with technology? A smart mirror combines the use of traditional mirror with digital aspects to bring up-to-
date information to the use directly on the mirror surface. Smart mirror is to contribute an easy way
information services to user through verbal commands, functions and listens to the user’s question and
response them adequately using voice commands. These features of the mirror will be scraped from the
Internet and implemented using the raspberry pi board. This paper describes the purpose, construction &
operation of the smart mirror.

Key Words: Smart Mirror, Raspberry Pi, Voice recognition, Weather, Time, Google News, IoT (Internet of

tasks:
1. When the person appears in front of mirror is
activated and will show the welcome message to
the user.
2. After activating the mirror will display date,
time, weather and news headlines.
3. The mirror will also play music and show our
daily schedule.
4. Smart mirror can communicate with verbal
commands, functions and listen user questions
and respond them adequately.
5. The mirror will automatically sleep if a person
