Abstract:
This paper describes the design and development of a smart artifact called “Interactive Mirror” for smart home users. The idea is to transform a normal mirror into an intelligent artifact by embedding various technologies to support users in their daily activities. This paper explains the state of the art technologies for building the intelligent mirror. It identifies the user using facial recognition technique and provides services such as recognizing emotions, progress representation of measured health parameters, height identification, identify garments, suggest garments with suitable color, and reminds important events. The prototype is developed, and demonstrated in ubiquitous computing laboratory. The algorithms are being tested in the deployed environment and the results are discussed in detail in this paper. Initial user studies indicated a high appeal of the Interactive Mirror features
